Neely, a quiet crossroads community in the piney woods of Greene County, offers a relaxed pace with room to spread out and a practical location for work and play. You’re minutes from everyday essentials in the county seat, Leakesville, and within easy reach of bigger-city conveniences in Hattiesburg for medical care, shopping, and entertainment. Commuters appreciate straightforward drives on regional highways, while weekend adventurers find a surprising number of destinations close to home, including neighboring Lucedale in George County.
Outdoor life is a highlight. Trails, campgrounds, and longleaf vistas in the expansive De Soto National Forest make it simple to unplug; check current access, maps, and seasonal advisories from the U.S. Forest Service at De Soto National Forest. Anglers and paddlers enjoy exploring creeks that feed the Pascagoula River system, with quiet waters well-suited to a half-day float and abundant wildlife watching.
Families are served by the Greene County School District, which offers small class sizes, active athletics, and career-tech options; find calendars, zoning, and enrollment details at Greene County School District. For upskilling or earning a certificate close to home, the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College George County Campus in Lucedale provides workforce training and academic pathways; explore programs at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.
