Schools
Bay-Waveland School District serves the city.
Attendance is assigned by address. Subdivision names and postal cities are not reliable guides, and the exception is common enough that we check every time.
Getting around
I-10 reaches Gulfport in about twenty-five minutes and New Orleans in about an hour. The Stennis Space Center is nearby and is a major employer.
The housing stock
Substantially rebuilt and elevated after Hurricane Katrina, with Old Town cottages, newer elevated construction near the water, and inland Hancock County stock and acreage.
What moves price here
Elevation and insurance dominate everything. A house built to current elevation standards and one that was not are different products at different carrying costs, regardless of what the listing says.

What drives prices in Bay St. Louis?
Elevation and insurance dominate everything. A house built to current elevation standards and one that was not are different products at different carrying costs, regardless of what the listing says. We deliberately do not publish a median on this page, because a number typed into a web page has no date on it. Published monthly figures, with the closed count beside them, are on our market insights pages.
Does Bay St. Louis have flood risk?
Some of it does, and it varies parcel by parcel rather than by neighbourhood. Every Bedford listing is checked against FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer as it syncs, and the zone, panel and effective date appear on the property page. Send us any address — including one you found elsewhere — and we will look it up.
