Houses from the 20th century and multifamily units
The neighborhood features brick ranch-style houses with paved walkways extending through the front yards—most dating from the 1960s to the 1980s. There are also duplexes and quadplexes; many are purchased by investors looking to rent a unit to college students and young professionals. The area contains several multifamily units, such as Mark 1 Apartments and North Hill Place Apartments. Houses don't come on the market often, but the most recent home was priced at around $125,000. Buyers can expect to pay between $175,000 and $225,000 for a multi-unit property. Hattiesburg and the surrounding region are prone to severe weather, including tornadoes and flooding, which may affect insurance premiums.

The 44-mile Longleaf Trace
The Rails-To-Trails path, Longleaf Trace, is a linear park for pedestrians and bicyclists. The 44-mile trail crosses several cities, bringing residents through Mississippi's Pine Belt. Kamper Park, about 2 miles south, is considered a premier destination for locals and tourists. The park is home to the Hattiesburg Zoo, with over 100 species of animals. The grounds also contain the Serengeti Springs water park, which opened in 2024.
Shopping along U.S. 49 and Highway 42
Highway 42 runs along the northern edge, leading to a Dollar General near the fire station and service providers. U.S. 49 stretches past the neighborhood, bringing patrons to Don Chuy's Mexican Grill and the popular Glory Bound Gyro, a mile away. Further south are CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens. The route intersects with Hardy Street in the heart of Midtown, which has a Corner Market grocery store, national and local restaurants, as well as storefronts. Hartfield says that she visits the city center often. "For lunch, downtown Front Street has Hattiesburger and Blues, the best burgers ever! The city also has a lot of Mexican places," Hartfield says.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
