Population growth in West Hattiesburg
Arnold Line is a growing community with a desirable school district and nearby shopping. The proximity to Hattiesburg's attractions and relatively low housing costs are major draws to the neighborhood. "It's a part of Oak Grove, so it's nice and secluded. But it is more affordable than further out in Oak Grove," says Dominique Magee, a nearby resident and South Mississippi Realtor with Epique Realty. "It's wonderful for small families and new couples looking for a modern, smaller house in a good community." She also says that people move to the area to retire. "The cost of living is lower, so your money goes further here," Magee says. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the neighborhood's population increased from 1,719 to 2,333 between 2010 and 2020. Education plays a significant role in the community. Students attend the high-ranking Lamar County School District. Many move on to the University of Southern Mississippi, about 3 miles away.

Locals may live in subdivision or have more privacy
Most of Arnold Line's older homes are brick ranch styles dating from the 1970s to the 1980s. Homes from the 21st century are often new traditional ranches and cottages. Some of the neighborhood's most recent homes are inside the Copperfield development. Beyond the subdivisions is a more rural feel. Many of these homes are older, stand further from the street and have larger lots. Late 20th-century houses generally cost between $150,000 and $325,000. Homes from the last 25 years enter the market between $200,000 and $375,000. As part of a tornado-prone region, the area may experience mild flooding and wind damage, which can impact insurance rates.

Cheering on the Oak Grove Warriors
Longleaf Elementary is considered the top public elementary in Lamar County, earning an A from Niche. Oak Grove Middle has an A-minus. Grove High earns an A, offering CTE courses and a Dual Credit program. The school is also known for its football department. "Oak Grove High is usually the 6A champs," Magee says. "They always go to state championships and players have gone pro." In 2020 and 2023, the school was recognized as the only high school in Mississippi to earn State Championship titles for dance, football and cheer within the same year.
Community engagement is a cornerstone of Longleaf Elementary's approach.

Gathering at USM games and the Hattiesburg Country Club
Football games at the University of Southern Mississippi attract fans, students and alumni to M.M. Roberts Stadium. "Southern Miss is life here," Magee says. "When games are going on, the kids can work them. It gives them something to do. These kids are outside doing things and are staying involved in the area." The community is also known for events like backyard barbecues and gatherings at nearby venues. "Hattiesburg Country Club is good for events and parties," Magee says. "I'm a Mississippi native, and I can say that we are party people. We love to gather."
