Living in Biloxi

Restaurants

-

The Biloxi area is known for its wide array of outstanding seafood restaurants. The area is also popular for its casinos, many of which have their own high end eating spots.

The Half Shell Oyster House is renowned throughout the entire state. It's located downtown, as are many of the best restaurants. Renters who want to take advantage of this location should just keep in mind that you'll be paying for the right to set up in close proximity to these options.

The Ocean Springs community most likely has the widest array of different styles of food. There's still seafood available, but for those looking for classic American, Chinese, Italian or casual dining may want to search for an apartment in this area.

One additional highlight is the restaurants that feature Cajun dining. This isn't New Orleans, but restaurants like The Kajun Kitchen in Waveland and Switzer Patsy in Ocean Springs are still worth checking out.

Shopping

-

The Biloxi-Gulfport area has some of the best shopping in the entire state. You won't be too far from some great retailers regardless of which neighborhood you decide to settle down in.

Located off of Interstate 70, the Gulfport Premium Outlets are widely considered to be the best choice for name brand shopping in the area. American Eagle Outfitters, Banana Republic, Nike, J. Crew, Disney, Ralph Lauren, Coach and Tommy Hilfiger are just some of the stores available.

If you are setting up closer to downtown, Biloxi's Main Street has been the benefit of a recent revitalization project that has seen a number of local shops open. Some features the work of local artists and craftsmen.

Biloxi's Edgewater Mall offers an indoor shopping experience that fills in a more affordable price range than the Premium Outlets. You'll find a number of great choices for families here, including apparel and accessories.
