Southern magnolias and live oaks shape the neighborhood’s charm

Mature Southern magnolias, live oaks and palmettos shade the streets in Magnolia Grove, an established neighborhood with modest houses just minutes from the beach and downtown Gulfport. “That area took a big hit during Katrina, but it’s been rebuilding – it’s up-and-coming,” says lifelong local Randy Richardson, a Realtor with Century 21 J. Carter & Company. “It’s central, close to downtown and Pass Road, which runs from the [Naval Construction Battalion Center] in Gulfport to Kessler Air Force Base in Biloxi. Both are major employers here.”

Most homes sell for under $250K in this older neighborhood

Many of the houses here were built before 1980, so midcentury bungalows and cottages are popular. Other property types include manufactured homes and townhouses. In general, prices range from under $100,000 to almost $370,000, but most recent listings sold for less than $250,000, and the median sale price hovers just over $160,000. Hurricane season ranges from June to November, and properties within special flood zones require flood insurance for federally backed mortgages. Noise pollution from the nearby railroad and airport is an additional consideration.

Collegiate Academy lets students earn college credit early

Gulfport School District is highly rated with an A on Niche. Central Elementary has a B. and Pass Road Elementary gets an A-minus. Gulfport Central Middle receives a B, and Gulfport High gets an A. Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College offers a dual enrollment program known as the Collegiate Academy to high schoolers.

Magnolia Grove has easy access to green spaces and the beach

Named for the waterway it’s set on, Brickyard Bayou Park has a waterfront disc golf course and two fenced dog runs for furbabies to frolic. A dirt trail often utilized for bike rides lines the bayou’s swampy shores. Magnolia Grove Park, with its recreation center, playground and basketball court, is also connected to a waterside trail. The Coffee Creek Nature Trail has a paved walkway, surrounded by scenic pine forest, and a secluded boardwalk. As for hitting the beach, Gulfport’s public, sandy white coastline and free parking spots are roughly 2 miles away.

Fish Bone Alley has good eats and nightlife near Magnolia Grove

Downtown Gulfport is less than 5 miles from Magnolia Grove, so the vibrant nightlife of Fish Bone Alley is minutes away. The pedestrian-friendly area features lively murals by local artists and a variety of bars and eateries. Popular late-night spots include Kelly’s Sports Pub and Rooney’s Irish Pub, while the Rack House Steak & Spirits serves elevated dishes like prime rib and fresh seafood. Everyday errands — such as grocery shopping, fueling up or visiting the bank — can be handled quickly at the nearby Courthouse Road and Pass Road junction. Courthouse Road also has several medical offices, and the closest hospital, Singing River, is located roughly 7 miles away.

TrainTastic blends education, play and nostalgia in Magnolia Grove

TrainTastic at the Mississippi Coast Model Railroad Museum is in the heart of Magnolia Grove, showcasing one of the nation’s largest and most interactive model railroad exhibits. Beyond trains, visitors can enjoy a 1950s-themed train car, S.T.E.A.M.-based activities, a unique climbing structure and a two-story model town that doubles as a party space.

Rail and highway access make commuting from Gulfport easy

An Amtrak station is less than 5 miles away. Passenger rail service resumed in late 2025, linking Gulfport once again with New Orleans – roughly 80 miles west – and Mobile – close to 70 miles east – through the Mardi Gras Service. U.S. Route 49 has a ramp onto Interstate 10 about 5 miles away. I-10 connects to New Orleans, LA, less than 80 miles west. Magnolia Grove is just south of Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, and Hewes Avenue is a direct route, letting residents circumvent Route 49 traffic when catching flights.
