Poplarville balances front-porch friendliness with practical convenience as the seat of Pearl River County. Just off I-59, residents enjoy quick day trips to Picayune, Hattiesburg, and Gulfport, while daily life revolves around local shops, community events, and Friday night lights.
Families appreciate the strong footing in the classroom and on the field through the Poplarville School District, known for hands-on programs and competitive athletics. A major asset, Pearl River Community College anchors workforce training, health sciences, and the arts, bringing lectures, performances, and continuing education to town.
Outdoor time comes easy. Hikers and paddlers head for the longleaf pines and sandy streams of the De Soto National Forest, while birders and anglers explore the wild backwaters of the Bogue Chitto National Wildlife Refuge. Nearby, the Crosby Arboretum showcases native Gulf South landscapes, and weekenders cool off at Flint Creek Water Park. Healthcare needs are supported locally and at regional facilities, including Highland Community Hospital in nearby Picayune.
