Ocean Springs, Mississippi is a community located in Jackson County. When the French built Fort Maurepas in 1699 in what is now called Ocean Springs, Ocean Springs was called ‘Old Biloxi’ when it was the French Seat of Government in the Louisiana Territory. In 1720, the capitol was moved to ‘New Biloxi, which is present day Biloxi. In 1853, Old Biloxi changed its name to Lynchburg followed by incorporation in 1892 with a name change to Ocean Springs because of the famous hotel resort named The Ocean Springs for the area’s health-giving waters and overflowing springs.
Ocean Springs is situated on an elevated, headland peninsula surrounded by water. The Gulf Sound at the southern front, the back waters of Old Fort Bayou to the north, and Biloxi Bay at its western side. The community, much like an antebellum cultural village, is immersed with magnificent Live Oaks that are heavily laden with Spanish moss dripping from every outreaching limb.
Separating Ocean Springs from the city of Biloxi, is the beautiful Biloxi Bay Bridge. This bridge separates two distinct types of lifestyles which have risen from the same heritage and the same culture. Both Biloxi and Ocean Springs claim to be the first French Settlement in the United States and the earliest Capital of the Louisiana Territory.
With the advent of the passenger train in the 1870’s, Ocean Springs became a summer vacation retreat for affluent New Orleanians and tourists from the mid-west attracted to The Ocean Springs Hotel and Spa in particular. A prominent New Orleans physician believed the local springs had medicinal qualities.
Today, Biloxi has the glitter and congestion of numerous casinos while Ocean Springs treasures its quiet tree lined residential neighborhoods, numerous antique stores, boutiques, many fine restaurants, and art colony as initially espoused by its famous longtime resident, the late artist, Walter Inglis Anderson. Walter Anderson’s son, Peter Anderson founded Shearwater Pottery which is still creating fine art work in clay. Ocean Springs is set in an exquisitely beautiful location of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and miles of trails, walking paths, greenways, bike paths, and sugar-white sandy beaches can be found here.
The average home value in Ocean Springs is approximately $202,000.
Set against a backdrop of sugar-white sand beaches, great deep-sea or freshwater fishing, an array of championship golf courses, museums and historic sites, terrific seafood restaurants, and the excitement of 24-hour non-stop casino resorts 3 miles over the Biloxi Bay Bridge, there is a lot to love about life in Ocean Springs, and homes for sale in Ocean Springs MS are available for every taste and lifestyle.
Whether you are planning to relocate with your family or are looking for a quiet beach retreat, let me help you with your real estate investment in Ocean Springs, and guide you through the time consuming process of looking for that special property.
