Pascagoula is a welcoming community with employers and a beachy feel
Pascagoula might not be Margaritaville, but it is Jimmy Buffet’s hometown. He even has a bridge named after him, which you’ll find by driving along Beach Boulevard or walking the Beachfront Promenade. The city is sandwiched between the Pascagoula River and the Gulf of Mexico, and with sandy beaches along its south side, you’re not far from reaching your own slice of paradise, no matter where you live in the city. Pascagoula is home to major employers like Ingalls Shipbuilding, the leading producer of ships for the U.S. Navy, Marine Corp and Coast Guard, and Chevron’s largest U.S. refinery. In addition to the industries that keep Pascagoula pumping, Lazaro Rovira, owner/broker of Rovira Team Realty, describes it as “a small city with a very involved government that’s constantly building the community, which attracts a lot of people.” Rovira, who is Latino, was drawn to the city years ago because it “goes out of the way to make everyone feel welcome and involved in the community.”
