I was stationed at Keesler AFB for two years back in the mid 80s and still visit there at least once a year. I would say that for the reasons you listed actually make it a great place to live. Small town atmosphere, but still with everything you need. Very nice citizens and very humble. Very affordable as coastal cities go. I hope it never changes. Major hurricanes is a downer though.
I would agree! I was a military child and spent most of my life in Florida. I absolutely love raising my family in Biloxi. We struggled to find any reasons not to come here. I am always open to buying a vet a drink. Follow the channel and let me know when you are in town. Thank you for your service!
@@emanuelfenech I actually just got back from Biloxi. I spent all last week there. Cajun RV Park. Right off Beach Blvd. It's where my wife of 44 years and I always stayed. I lost her this past July. Last weeks trip was in remembrance and reminiscent of our trips there. Thanks for remembering our Vets.
There's nothing wrong with living in Biloxi Mississippi. I live in Biloxi. There is plenty to do here on the Gulf coast. It's only about and hour an 45 min to New Orleans and about 45 min to Mobile Alabama. Our towns are close together. It's growing here everyday.
Hey, I’m from Nashville. They think everyone should move there. Guess what? Now everyone is beginning to hate it. When areas get oversaturated with people especially outsiders, that’s when the real Hell starts.
I agree 100%. I live and work here in Biloxi and absolutely love it. There are a few quirks as there are everywhere, but the people here are awesome and the fun never stops if you like the outdoors.
@@boogitybear2283 Nashville is a beautiful city. I was just out there in March and had a great time. Our first time we stayed at the Demonbruen Mansion and that was also wonderful! Overpopulation definitely is straining, but I don't think we are near that in Biloxi yet. I think I seen last week where you guys have like 11 new skyscrapers in planning. Woah!?
I absolutely love it here. Moved here in 2008 and started a family in 2018. We travel a good bit and nothing is quite like home. These reasons could determine some, but for me, it is my why.
I think i like this whole region of southern mississippi. I don't really like gambling, but it is reaching every state even Kentucky now (has been with horses for centuries anyways). The Mississippi coast is really the dark horse of the region, such great value in my opinion. I don't really care about having a high paying job if I can reasonably save up and buy a nice house with cash, and bike to the beach. Waveland/ Bay St. Louis seems really nice to me personally
I currently reside in Tampa and I plan on moving in a few months good thing is I can bring my job with me. I'm going to miss publix so much but other than that, I'm pretty confident with my decision to relocate
I think you will be happy with your decision. Coming from Tampa myself, there are some things to be desired here, but they can be reached easily for a weekend trip if time allows and if I lived there, it would be the same. The cost of living here is amazing and the culture and people are very inviting. We would love to help you with your move if you need help finding a place! Check out ua-cam.com/video/c-DFlp-LlTk/v-deo.html for a list of things to do in the area.
Before the casinos.. Biloxi was a ghost town in the wintertime, other than a small fish and oyster canning plants... In the summer tourist beach and fishing .. A few night clubs were popular year round 24 hour.
I am retired and see that Gulfport area is very affordable. Although I would like to move 30 min north and get an acre or 2. How is the crime? Which is why I left California. I am looking for a place that is affordable and safe.
While there is bound to be some crime in any area, I feel very safe in Biloxi and surrounding areas. I would look in Saucier or Wiggins for what you are looking for. We can help!
So do we! Unfortunately as agents here on the coast, we point out the good and the bad. I wont ever leave, but truly feel it is not for everyone and that is ok. I am glad you love it here too!
At of the reasons that you listed, that first point is probably the strongest. Biloxi, like so many other cities of that size, doesn't really have much in the way of a corporate atmosphere. Fortunately, post-pandemic, we are seeing so many of those white-collar corporate jobs going remote so that might not be as much of a show-stopper anymore.
We actually love Biloxi and had a hard time putting this list together. Biloxi is one of the greatest communities I have been a part of and we moved a lot as a military family. I am proud to raise my kids in Indian Nation!
@@emanuelfenech - Yessir! We just got back from our vacation to there and said that we wouldn’t mind moving back at all! Just a few years until retirement…
The part where you said you will not be very high status is completely untrue, because Le Bakery, a.k.a. the place that I am the co-owner at is actually pretty popular and we have visiting customers from multiple states and countries
I love it here and personally don't feel like any of these are a reason to stay away. We struggled to find reasons not to come and ultimately settled on this list. I would rate this minor compared to many other locations in the US
I thought this was a joke at first but not so. Hey Biloxi is no Tampa! It is a small community with its own charm. Of course it cannot support major sports. A Publix? Come on man. My advice is to move back to Tampa. Biloxi and you would be better off.
No desires to go back to the city. We love it hear and none of these are factors for me to be depressed. Rouses is equivalent to Publix and I don't have time for sports. This video is for people who are thinking of coming here and these may be necessities.
DUH!?!!😮 Dude, to compare small town Biloxi to Tampa is ridiculous. There are dozens to small market hick towns in FL, Biloxi far better than. Compare Tampa to Philly, DFW, LA, NOLA , ATL, NYC, or Chitown next time. SMH
If these reasons are enough to keep you away then, yes. However, I had to dig pretty hard for these and none of them keeps me from loving raising my family here. I enjoy the slower pace outside major cities.
I lived in Biloxi 1977-1982 statiomed at Keesler..It was really bizarre, it shut down in the winter, boats from Camille were everywhere, Great fishing and kinda kicked back..there was a definite separation from the black side..main street and the other side. KKK people would hand out flyers at intersections dressed all up in their whir garb and hoods It was very interesting..I kinda like the place,cops were cool and it had a touch of deliverence..OH the stories I could tell..the things I saw and people I met were truly fascinating.
The water color is due to the barrier islands. After reaching Ship Island, the water turns blue. It's not dirty. Stop being ridiculous. If that's what keeps people away, fine by me. I'd rather have less people than overcrowding. So...yeah maybe you are right. Stay away folks! Tourists welcome, but only visit please.

Tampa is a nightmare now! I miss my city being more lowkey! 😪
Right
If I could find good work down there, I'd STAY down there!
Tough for the trades for sure. More money to be made on the road. We hope you make it back to stay sometime!
Retired Military looking to settle down. Not much into gambling but there is a beach and it is relatively inexpensive…

True Bilioxi was build by dixie mafia

I all so moved out of SO CA love Biloxi
Why Don't you Move. I GOT LOVE FOR THE COAST DAMN!
So do we! Unfortunately as agents here on the coast, we point out the good and the bad. I wont ever leave, but truly feel it is not for everyone and that is ok. I am glad you love it here too!
He is just pointing out the good and the bad.
I actually appreciate his honesty and candor. The fact that there are no jobs there is my major deterrent from moving there.

@@darrelllee2107 retirement sounds nice! Congratulations on getting there. If you are ever in the area and want to see some houses, we are your stop!
You have the Mississippi sea wolves!
Traffic probably isn't as bad as it is in Tampa.
The part where you said you will not be very high status is completely untrue, because Le Bakery, a.k.a. the place that I am the co-owner at is actually pretty popular and we have visiting customers from multiple states and countries
This won't stop me from moving to Biloxi. I live too close to family I wanna be the first to move where they have to come see me
Good video but my question is why did you move there?????
I love it here and personally don't feel like any of these are a reason to stay away. We struggled to find reasons not to come and ultimately settled on this list. I would rate this minor compared to many other locations in the US

If it was not for being in hurricane alley Biloxi would or the Gulf coast would be nice.
Biloxi doesn’t need a Pro Sports team. That’s why there is nearby New Orleans Saints and Pelicans.
Publix subs and chicken 😩😩😩 LOVE!!!
the casinos is it, the water is brown and murky compared to florida, but slowly but surely growing down in my hometown
Wow!!! Really???
If these reasons are enough to keep you away then, yes. However, I had to dig pretty hard for these and none of them keeps me from loving raising my family here. I enjoy the slower pace outside major cities.
Biloxi is nice! The IP Casino Resort is a great place to stay!
Nice try
I like Biloxi
I lived in Biloxi 1977-1982 statiomed at Keesler..It was really bizarre, it shut down in the winter, boats from Camille were everywhere, Great fishing and kinda kicked back..there was a definite separation from the black side..main street and the other side. KKK people would hand out flyers at intersections dressed all up in their whir garb and hoods It was very interesting..I kinda like the place,cops were cool and it had a touch of deliverence..OH the stories I could tell..the things I saw and people I met were truly fascinating.
You have no clue.
Actually, we love Biloxi and I am glad you agree that these reasons are minimal compared to other areas of the country. We love our city!
THERES CRACKS AND THE WATER LOOKS LIKE THE INSIDE OF A SEPTIC TANK, GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN‼️
The water color is due to the barrier islands. After reaching Ship Island, the water turns blue. It's not dirty. Stop being ridiculous. If that's what keeps people away, fine by me.
