Gautier, MS Apartment Market & Multifamily Brokerage
Jackson County, MS
Gautier is a smaller market — 19,046 residents and 6 tracked properties — but smaller doesn't mean inactive. Thin markets like this one are exactly where relationships matter more than broad marketing, since so few owners are getting called on directly.
One number worth sitting with: only 36.2 apartment units per 1,000 residents, below most of the markets we track. Either this is a true ownership-heavy market with limited renter demand, or there's renter demand here that isn't being served by tracked multifamily stock — worth a closer look before assuming it's the former.
Average asking rent sits around $934/unit — soft relative to the broader footprint. That's the opening: well-located, well-run product has real room to push rent before it bumps into a ceiling.
Gautier sits between Pascagoula and Ocean Springs on I-10, putting it within an easy commute of Ingalls Shipbuilding, Mississippi's largest private employer.
Steven Rowe and Gulf Coast Multifamily represent owners of 10+ unit apartment properties in Gautier and across Jackson County, MS. If you're thinking about selling, refinancing, or just want to know what your property is worth, a confidential conversation costs nothing.
