Named after educators Levi Rowan and Mary Bethune
Bethune-Eastside-Rowan is a community on Hattiesburg's eastside rooted in education. The community earns its name from the local educator Levi Rowan and renowned Florida educator Mary Bethune. A private university also stands just beyond the area.

Homes are comparatively lower in price than in other Hattiesburg communities. The neighborhood is primarily residential, but several businesses are nearby.

Some of the area's major employers, including car dealerships and an Amazon Distribution center, are on the opposite side of the railroad.

Residences often have front steps and porches, concrete walkways and covered carports.
