Living in Hattiesburg, whether you're still unloading the moving boxes or have been here for decades, keeps you pretty busy. This small but spirited city may not rival Jackson or Gulfport in size, but it makes up for it with a liveliness and close sense of community. Having Southern Miss and William Carey University nearby certainly help, but beyond student life, Hburg has created its own sense of place.

During the spring and fall, you'll be busy celebrating Fridays at Live at Five concerts after work, getting to know local bands and hanging out with your neighbors on cool evenings outside. On relaxed weekends, you might be stopping by the Hattiesburg Zoo with the kids or going out for a run along Longleaf Trace, and ending the day with a seasonal brew at Southern Prohibition.

Summer evenings will probably find you sneaking in a quick nine before sunset at Shadow Ridge or Canebrake, enjoying other local events, like the Hattiesburg Craft Beer Festival, or getting outside at Paul B. Johnson State Park. Whatever you choose to do—and you'll have your pick—don't let concerns about your home's safety keep you from enjoying your community. An ADT monitored security system will give you the reassurance you need that ADT is helping to protect your home while you're away.
