West Beach offers beachside views and access to downtown Gulfport
Located along the shores of the Gulf, the West Beach neighborhood gives buyers direct access to plenty of single-family homes and condos near downtown Gulfport. Residents can access the public beaches as well as events at the Island View Casino and in downtown Gulfport. Buyers can also find various home styles with plenty of space and condos. “Most of that area is [on] higher ground, so the elevation is good, and that’s why it's growing back,” says Randy Richardson, a broker associate with Century 21 J. Carter & Company, who was also born and raised in Gulfport. “There's a lot of development down there. You're buying a property within a rock's throw of the Gulf [and] views for less than a million dollars. Just having that accessibility is the biggest draw.”
Various housing styles attract full-time residents and vacationers
Cottages, ranch-styles and bungalows can range from $100,000 to $300,000. Raised New Traditionals and stilt homes typically run between $500,000 and $950,000. Prices can depend on factors such as location, size and condition. Condos are also available.
“It’s a nice older neighborhood, but [it’s] still in good shape,” says Bill Lawler, a Realtor with Century 21 Busch Realty Group, who has been selling in the area for 11 years. “People, when they come on vacation, they want to be close to the beach and that’s why homes are selling down there.” Lawler also noted that West Beach has attracted a “healthy mix” of permanent residents and vacationers.
Homes are typically on gridded streets with larger lots. Decorative palm trees and live oaks can accent lawns. Richardson notes that HOA activity is low, but homeowners must follow rules and covenants set by the city.
