Gogo's take on Three Rivers
“Go. North Dedeaux is a peaceful, predominantly residential suburban area in northern Gulfport that is safe for visitors running errands or staying in local rentals. While property crime occasionally occurs near commercial strips along Dedeaux Road, violent crime is low compared to central coastal corridors. Exercise standard situational awareness and rely on a car for transportation.”
About the area

It is characterized by post-1980s single-family subdivisions, small neighborhood strip centers, and wooded lots. The area serves primarily as a commuter bedroom community for workers across Harrison County.
