The Coastal Setting
The Friendly City by the sea.
Known affectionately as Mississippi’s "Friendly City," Long Beach manages to blend a small-town, community-reliant pace with direct, immediate proximity to Gulf Coast waters. Here, centennial oak trees shade the avenues, neighbors run into each other at local farmers markets, and highly-regarded schools are a standard matter of course.
Why We Love Long Beach
What makes this area distinct.
Minutes to the Shoreline
Located approximately 4 miles from Long Beach Harbor and the white sand beaches of the Mississippi Sound, allowing you to easily incorporate coastal walks, boating, and fresh gulf breezes into your weekly lifestyle.
Top-Tier A-Rated Schools
Served by the highly-rated Long Beach School District. Families benefit from top academic programs starting at W.J. Quarles Elementary, leading through the district’s recognized middle and senior high schools.
High-Ground Protection
Situated completely outside of any designated flood zone (Zone X), meaning standard flood insurance is not federally mandated. It offers supreme peace of mind paired with an economic $250 annual HOA fee.
Proximity Overview
Close to what matters.
Public beach access, boat launches, piers, and waterfront walking paths.
Historic beachfront university campus adorned by beautiful centennial oaks.
Direct highway corridor for simple transits to Gulfport, Biloxi, or New Orleans.
