Mississippi Apartments and Homes

Overview

The name Mississippi means "large river" to the Chippewa Indians, and a more appropriate name may have never been coined. The state of Mississippi is named for the great river that forms the state's western boundary and empties into the Gulf of Mexico.

What to Expect

Mississippi is a leading producer of not only cotton but also other crops like soybeans, as well as manufactured products including upholstered furniture.

Unlike the rapid urban expansion that many states have experienced, Mississippi remains a land of mainly small towns scattered among the farmlands and hills. Mississippi's coast and inland rivers and lakes provide ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, including fishing, swimming and boating. Hunting is another popular activity, and football is generally considered the state's favorite sport.

Mississippi has a typical Southern climate with warm, humid temperatures throughout the year. Summer is long and reaches into the 90s. Winters are short and don't get much colder than the 40s. Mississippi generally has a favorable cost of living below the national average, which is great news for those looking for apartment rentals.
