Best Midtown Hattiesburg Apartments for Rent

Midtown Hattiesburg is in Forrest County, and it is home to Forrest General, USM, Hattiesburg Clinic, many local eateries, boutiques, entertainment, and a great deal of redevelopment. Hardy Street is the main roadway in this area that runs straight through Midtown, with Highway 49, Interstate 59, Lincoln Road, and 4th Street all acting as borders. The Hattiesburg Public School District for this area consists of: N.R. Burger, Hattiesburg High, Thames, Grace Christian, Rowan, Hawkins, Burney and Woodley. The local Christian or private schools are Presbyterian Christian School (PCS) and Sacred Heart.

Local restaurateur, Robert St. John, has had a large part in the redevelopment of Midtown, where he completely flipped a shopping center now known as Midtown Market – providing new pavement and updates to the building, as well as expanding his group of well-known restaurants. His restaurants, Crescent City, Tabella, Branch, and The Purple Parrot are just a few of the exceptional restaurants in this part of town. The Corner Market grocery store is also located in Midtown Market and is a haven for those looking for more unique or health conscious foods.

If shopping is your thing, Eve Marie’s Boutique is a popular women’s clothing and accessory store located in the heart of Midtown Hattiesburg and is owned and operated by a USM graduate. The Grand Movie Theatre is just on the edge of Midtown and is always showing the most recent movies. After you are finished watching your film, most people head over to Mugshots Grill and Bar, another local gem, to enjoy a delicious hamburger. Other fun activities in Midtown include the Hattiesburg Zoo which boasts a large array of animals and exhibits for children. You can also explore the newly completed Asbury Discovery Center and take a trip back in time to the age of discovery and innovation. Midtown is truly the center of everything and is a short walk, bike or drive away from many other areas in Hattiesburg.
