Simple homes on Hattiesburg's eastside
The community contains simple, single-story homes from the 20th century, typically on raised foundations. Along the streets are brick ranch-style houses and worker's cottages. Although most houses are older, there are a handful of lots where previous structures were leveled to make room for more modern homes. Residences often have front steps and porches, concrete walkways and covered carports. The neighborhood also includes plots of developed and undeveloped land ranging between $6,000 to $7,500 per acre. Generally, homes entering the market will require upgrades or renovations. Houses can range in price from $60,000 to $150,000. Forrest County and the surrounding region are prone to tornados, flooding, and other severe weather conditions that may affect insurance premiums.

Building up Vernon Dahmer Park
Vernon Dahmer Park, just south of the community, was awarded a grant from T-Mobile to rebuild the pavilion after a fire. The funds will also go towards constructing Hattiesburg's second inclusive playground. The park includes a seasonal pool as well as basketball and tennis courts. Local youth and adult sports leagues often play games on the baseball and softball diamonds. The See Spot Run Dog Park is a few blocks north of the neighborhood on Pine Street.

Juneteenth Parade and Celebration and downtown events
The Juneteenth Parade and Celebration in Hattiesburg, a tradition for over 40 years, takes place at Vernon Dahmer Park.

"Hattiesburg Library hosts things for all different age groups." Clark also says that downtown has other entertainment options, such as films and shows at Saenger Theater or axe throwing at Alley Cats.

A Walmart Supercenter and the Cloverleaf Center shopping mall are on the other side of the U.S. 49 interchange, about 2 miles away. The retail hub contains Dirt Cheap discount stores and restaurants such as Cadillac Pig. Many head 2 miles downtown for more dining, like the popular Hattiesburgers and Blues or The Porter Public House.
