Neighborhood guide · By Travis DeLoach

The Avenues, Midtown & Downtown

Hattiesburg's older core: porches, big trees, and the University of Southern Mississippi down the road.

Who it fits

Buyers who love character homes, want to be near USM or William Carey, or like being a short drive from downtown restaurants, the Saenger Theater and the Longleaf Trace trail.

The homes

Expect older homes, from early craftsman bungalows to mid-century ranches, plus some renovated and new infill homes. No two blocks are quite the same, so pricing depends on careful, hand-picked comps.

What to check

  • Age and condition of the roof, foundation, wiring and plumbing
  • Which updates were permitted and when
  • Historic district rules if you plan exterior changes
  • Parking and noise near campus on game days
