Homes for Rent in Demopolis, AL

Historical homes and community events draw residents to Demopolis. Founded in the 19th century, Demopolis still features a variety of ornate home styles with budget-friendly price tags. "Demopolis is a sweet town that still looks very historical; many of the buildings have been restored downtown, and there are a lot of old Victorian and Tudor Revival homes," says Realtor and broker Julia Brooks, owner of Village Properties. "If someone wants an older home they can renovate, they could easily buy it and make their renovations."

"There's a lot of boating and fishing here; oftentimes, people making their way down to the Gulf may stop at the marina and fill up and get dinner before heading south." While it's a rural area, Brooks notes Demopolis' proximity to other major cities. "You can get down to the Gulf or New Orleans within a couple of hours. We're kind of in the middle of everything," Brooks says. Demopolis has all the features of a classic Southern community, with its original areas featuring homes built between the early to mid-20th
