Living in Moselle, MS

Small-town simplicity with convenient access to Hattiesburg and Laurel

Moselle is a small, South Mississippi community with a peaceful, rural feel and one major advantage: location. Sitting roughly midway between Hattiesburg and Laurel, it offers easy access to both cities while keeping the quieter pace of a small town. The 2020 U.S. Census counted just 304 residents in the Moselle census-designated place, reflecting that small-town character. With I-59 and Highway 11 both running through the area, residents can reach shopping, dining, healthcare, employment, and entertainment in either direction with relative ease.

For buyers who prefer more space, fewer crowds, and a simpler day-to-day setting without being too far from larger conveniences, Moselle offers an appealing middle ground. Everyday essentials are available locally, while Hattiesburg and Laurel are each roughly a 20-minute drive away.

April's Moselle Recommendations

Favorite Coffee Stop: Stoneyard CoffeeStoneyard Coffee may be a small roadside coffee hut, but it packs a big punch when you need a little caffeine to get through the day. Along with delicious coffee and friendly service, you’ll also find a few fun extras inside, from T-shirts to preserves and other locally inspired items. It’s one of those simple Moselle stops that makes small-town living feel a little more special.

Just one? Yes...because it's that small! You will find essentials too- a Dollar General, Family Dollar, Bryant's Seed & Farm, and a couple gas stations to keep you from having to run into the larger cities for basic needs.
