What hasn't changed here is the joyful spirit of Mississippi hospitality among its more than 13,000 residents. While the people here are very proud of their heritage and way of life, there's no feeling of keeping that to themselves. Instead, the communities of Lawrence County have a message for potential newcomers: "Come in and make yourself at home - and help us make our communities even better!"
Hospitality here goes far beyond lip service. Its communities have invested time and resources to make sure life for its citizens is enjoyable and meaningful. Residents enjoy a first-rate public education system, the latest in healthcare services, and reassuring protection from various agencies of public safety. There's a strong emphasis on matters of the heart and soul through a wide representation of religious denominations and cultural associations.
With a strong, affordable real estate market, Lawrence County is just a great place to live. Several new developments offer housing prices far below the national average, but high in quality. Its southern charm has something to offer relocating professionals and skilled workers, young families and especially those considering a retirement home.
