Town in Alabama
Current Resident: Fairhope is an amazing little coastal town in south Alabama. Wonderful schools, friendly people and a beautiful town! Downtown if very well kept and always has seasonal flowers on almost every street corner. There are sidewalks throughout most of the town which makes it easy to get out and exercise and enjoy the amazing weather! Fairhope is known for its beauty. But, I must say it is phenomenal during the Christmas season! The entire downtown is decorated. Twinkling trees line the streets. Every year Fairhope has a special tree lighting ceremony for the season! People come from all over to see this! You will even see "southern snow" falling! Although Fairhope is one of the fastest growing places in the southeast, it still has that small-town feeling. Fairhope is a must-see town for all!... Read 77 reviews

Parent: Pinecrest is an absolutely amazing school! We are in our third year and are so happy to be part of such a wonderful school community. The love of learning and joy is seen everyday in the interactions the Head of School, staff, teachers, and enrichment teachers have with students and parents. We truly appreciate that each child is valued for his/her individuality and are supported academically, socially, and emotionally. DEIB is a core value of Pinecrest and all are welcome and celebrated. Class sizes are small and intimate. We appreciate the flexibility offered in learning with classes often held outside and focuses in the areas of STEAM, music, and project based learning. The teachers know every student, not just the ones in his/her classes. Individual class teachers are easy to communicate with and very responsive to parents and students. Communication from the Head of School is excellent, detailed, and consistent. Importantly, our child is thriving! We highly recommend Pinecrest!... Read 3 reviews

Current Resident: Many festivals and activities year round for all age groups provide entertainment for all. Beach and water sports provide relaxation and various sports. Many restaurants provide great food, especially seafood. Food can be healthy or really bad for you! Take your choice. Many hiking and bike trails are in the area as well as kayaking and boating. Museums and historical sites are educational and entertaining. Housing prices are low off beach and reasonable water and beach front. While roads are in good repair, the traffic design patterns are poor at best! It is a friendly and welcoming community to both locals and the many tourists who visit yearly. Glad we discovered Orange Beach!... Read 8 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in Saraland all of my 17 years of life. I have always been in the best schooling my while life. I have always been involved with my church and have made such amazing friends. One of the many places I love about Saraland is the small coffee shop we have called Mokas. Mokas is a small business that serves some of the best coffee in Alabama in my opinion. They have an amazing space on the inside for students or workers to study and be on their computers. It is a great space to get some quiet while enjoying a great cup of coffee. Something unique about Saraland is that we have our own public school system. We have schools in the area but they are not apart of the school system. I have loved living here because of the community and the beautiful areas to visit nearby. Mobile is very close by so there are so many close things to do without using too much gas.... Read 38 reviews

Current Resident: Satsuma is the perfect small town. With an approximate population of just over 6,000, Satsuma is nestled just a hop and a skip away from Mobile. Though the rankings slightly change every year, Satsuma is generally rated in the top ten safest towns in Alabama. Since 2012, Satsuma has been separated from Mobile County Public School System. The separation has allowed the town to be more directly involved in school activities. Satsuma High School and Robert E. Lee Elementary School were declared 2018 CLAS School of Distinction award, and Governor Ivey personally visited Lee Elementary to announce a $1.5 million early education grant. Since then, our official Pre-K school has been up and running. There are many good things going on in Satsuma and many exciting things to come!... Read 10 reviews

Current Resident: I think Theodore can be a very interesting place at times. Where I live has plenty of places to eat within a ten minute or less drive. This city is especially beautiful at night because the moon and stars illuminate so brightly. However, there is not much entertainment here. The city next to Theodore, Mobile, has movie theatres, laser tag facilities, trampoline parks, and more. This is beneficial because entertainment areas for parents or kids are not that far away even though it is in another city. Some parts of Theodore are more rural than other areas. Some people plant their own food and have their own farm animals such as horses, cows, goats, chickens, and more. Most houses around here have plenty of yard space for children to play or for people to have family events. The neighborhood I live in is great because of how unified the community is and how willing they are to share with one another.... Read 10 reviews
