Hattiesburg is one of the most unique towns in Mississippi. Many of its buildings are covered in art, and there are small hidden gems throughout the city such as the Pocket Museum and the Lucky Rabbit in the downtown area. It’s called Hub City for a reason; different people from all over Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana come and go. With it being home to two university campuses, it’s not hard to meet people and make new friends. Housing, gas, and grocery prices are fairly reasonable, and many of the jobs pay fair wages that start above ten dollars an hour. Since moving to Hattiesburg, I have been exposed to new experiences that have changed my life, and I haven’t even explored half the city yet!
Hattiesburg is a small town one would want to live in. It's a welcoming community and everyone knows each other. Outsiders would agree that our hospitality is impeccable. Schools here like Oak Grove provide an excellent education. Diversity is quite high for being in the South. We offer many different cultural cuisines from Italian, Mexican, Indian, Japanese, and more.
Visiting the city of Hattiesburg, Mississippi would be a great experience for those visiting in the surrounding areas. It is a very nice, clean and friendly place. Those that live their are very nice and always willing to help you. It reminds me of a big city as far as shopping is concerned. In one stretch of highway, there are so many different stores to choose from. The Fast Food restaurants, gas stations, lodging, home improvement, and the SUPER Walmart that attracts everyone from the city to the rural areas. I enjoy living in the city of Hattiesburg, because growing up on the East Coast, 20 minutes outside of New York City, there was always traffic jams, too much crime and the feeling of being overcrowded. Here, it's less hustle and bustle and more of a vacation feeling. So, I chose Hattiesburg, because out of all the other cities and small towns I have visited in the state of Mississippi, I enjoy the fresh air, the maintenance of properties and highways. NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
