The Heights-Avenues Home for Rent

The Heights-Avenues neighborhood in Hattiesburg is a primarily residential area featuring cottages and ranch-style houses built between the 1940s and 1970s. These homes, often constructed from durable brick or concrete blocks, are popular among first-time homebuyers and investors, particularly due to their quick market turnover of 20 days. Many properties have been converted into rentals to accommodate the nearby University of Southern Mississippi (USM) student population. The neighborhood has a mild flooding risk near Gordon's Creek during severe weather. Kamper Park, located to the south, is a major attraction with the Hattiesburg Zoo and the newly opened Serengeti Waterpark. The Jaycee Park Complex within the community features new sports fields and will host the 2025 Dixie Boys Baseball World Series. The Longleaf Trace offers over 40 miles for biking and hiking enthusiasts. Local amenities include Walgreens and CVS pharmacies, the 4th Street Bar, and popular coffee spots like Kaffeehaus Fabelhaft and Equinox Coffee. Residents can shop at the Corner Market grocery store, Walmart Supercenter, and Turtle Creek Mall, which is less than 5 miles away. The neighborhood is well-connected with public transportation on Hardy Street and major roads nearby. Downtown attractions are within 3 miles, providing easy access to city events and parades.
