Living in Hattiesburg, MS

Hattiesburg is a small town in Mississippi that has earned its nickname of “Hub City” thanks to its privileged location at the intersection of several important railroad line crossings. Hattiesburg still takes advantage of its position less than two hours from metropolitan areas such as New Orleans, LA; Jackson, MS; and Mobile, AL. The warm weather year-round, several golf courses, easy access to major hospitals, low taxes and affordable cost of living make this homey area a great renting choice. The town is even recognized as a Certified Retirement Community. However, two universities (the University of Southern Mississippi and William Carey) ensure that the community is lively, with an exciting restaurant scene, an active nightlife and a rich cultural environment including art galleries and an opera house. The weather is hot and humid and, as is common in the south, subject to a hurricane season.
