The average temperature of Pearl River is 66.95'F, which is about the same as the Louisiana average temperature of 66.74'F and is much higher than the national average temperature of 54.45'F. Just like much of the region known as the northshore the saying always exist "If you do not like the weather just wait a while and it will change!
". We do experience at times temps in the teens in the winter and lower 100's in the summer. The summers are generally dry depending on the risk of tropical weather. The winter will have periods of rain occasionally.
The Pearl River crime rate is higher than the Louisiana average crime rate and is higher than the national average crime rate. This could really be misleading because of the small town and the really close location of larger cities and neighborhoods.There neighborhoods in this area are spread apart more than other cities or towns. There also are different types of people that live in these neighborhoods. People are generally known by the neighborhoods they are from. Also a train track goes through the neighborhood that separates people according as to which side of the tracks they are from.The people in this area or just like any other Southeast Louisiana town or city. Very friendly smiles are a welcome sight when you enter this town. You will be sure to be greeted with a warm welcome. There always is the occasional smirk from an unhappy resident that is having a bad day but that is pretty much anywhere you travel.
Downtown AreaRestaurantsSchoolsSingle life
The downtown area really only have just a few place to shop. Places such as Dollar General and some other small stores. Mostly people will travel to the bigger cities that are closer by to take in the shopping malls and larger stores.No big restaurants located here. Mcdonalds,Burger King and Waffle House are close by. The best place to dine are in the several locally owned family restaurants. You can have your choice of fried chicken to seafood. Also a couple of excellent bbq and po-boy places are around.I have had the pleasure of teaching a dual enrollment class in this town for several years. The public schools are part of the St. Tammany Parish School District. Pearl river High school has an enrollment of 780 students.Locally there is not very many opportunities for singles. There area few small friendly pubs one may experience. Most of the opportunities are in the neighboring larger cities. Pearl River is about 1 hour away from New Orleans.
Noisetown comparison vs.Best hospitalTourist attractions
Nothing unusual here except for the train that comes through a couple times a day. Traffic noises at times can be annoying depending on the local activities that may be going on.Most of the cities on the northshore region with the exception of a few are small town regions where everyone knows the things that are going on around them. They also are very close to the people around them. Pearl River is no exception to this rule. They set a very good example of this!Slidell Memorial
ST.Tammany Regional Hospital
Lacombe Heart Hospital
The Honey Island Swamp is close by with numerous swamp tour opportunities. Pearl River is here for many outdoors enthusiasts. Casinos are located within an hours drive for a excellent gaming experience.
