Rawls Springs balances quiet, wooded living with quick access to city conveniences, just minutes from Hattiesburg in Forrest County. Commuters appreciate proximity to US 49, the medical corridor anchored by the regional leader Forrest General Hospital, and the academic and cultural energy of The University of Southern Mississippi. Weekend plans come easy: meet friends at the Hattiesburg Zoo, ride or run the paved Longleaf Trace, or cast a line and paddle at Paul B. Johnson State Park. When travel calls, flights from Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport connect you to the wider South without big-airport stress.
Families find solid K–12 options through the county public schools, with higher education and professional development close by at the university and Pearl River Community College. Downtown entertainment ranges from local festivals to classic performances at the restored Hattiesburg Saenger Theater, while shopping, dining, and services in nearby Petal give residents even more choices. Outdoor-minded movers will appreciate how easily Rawls Springs puts them on a trail, a fairway, or a boat launch, yet home remains a peaceful retreat when the day is done.
