Gulf Hills

Nestled among mature trees and winding roads, Gulf Hills is one of Ocean Springs’ most storied neighborhoods. Developed in the 1920s as one of the earliest planned golf course communities on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, it began as a resort and residential enclave with a distinctive coastal character. Homes here range from mid-century residences to custom builds, many set on generous lots that reflect the area’s relaxed, residential feel. Anchored by the historic Gulf Hills Hotel & Resort and its adjoining golf course, the neighborhood is steeped in local lore, including long-shared stories of hosting notable figures such as Elvis Presley and Al Capone during its early resort days. Today, Gulf Hills blends architectural charm, green space, and a quiet atmosphere, offering a timeless residential setting unlike any other on the Coast.
