Why Picayune, MS is a Great Place to Call Home

Nestled in Pearl River County, Picayune offers the charm of a small Southern town with the convenience of big-city access. Residents enjoy a welcoming, close-knit atmosphere where community pride runs deep and local events bring neighbors together year-round. Residents enjoy the charms of the historic downtown’s antique & vintage art and clothing shops, and delicious local dining establishments. 

One of Picayune’s biggest advantages is its strategic location. Just a short drive from I-59, the town offers an easy commute to Slidell, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast, ideal for those who want peaceful living without sacrificing access to city amenities, employment centers, or coastal recreation. Its inland setting also means less direct impact from hurricanes compared to more coastal communities.

Mississippi is known for its low cost of living and financial benefits for retirees and veterans. The state offers no income tax on retirement income and provides property tax exemptions for disabled veterans, making it one of the most veteran-friendly states in the country. These advantages, combined with Picayune’s affordability, make it an especially appealing place to settle down.

Families are drawn to the Picayune area for its  family-friendly destinations. Right next door to Heritage Oaks, expansive Friendship Park offers playgrounds, ball fields, walking trails, and a splash pad, making it a favorite for all ages.

Picayune offers the strong benefits of lower homeowners' insurance rates, competitive pricing, and an easy move from Slidell. With its blend of affordability, access, and small-town warmth, it’s no wonder so many homebuyers are choosing new construction homes in Picayune, MS.
