Baker is a scenic exurb at the edge of greater Mobile which in recent years has seen the development of many new planned communities, offering homebuyers a range of modern housing options alongside a large selection of mid- and early 20th century homes. The neighborhood’s biggest selling point, apart from its pleasant rural scenery, is its proximity to Mobile Regional Airport, located just a mile from the neighborhood on State Highway 56. The airport is surrounded by retail and dining, giving Baker residents easy access to extensive amenities.
New construction in the neighborhood
Baker’s residential offerings are, without a doubt, the neighborhood’s defining feature. The neighborhood has been a popular suburban landing spot for decades, but recently it has seen a surge of development. Despite this, it can be hard to find a home in the market, as residents tend to stay in the area for a while. Home styles range from medium-size mid-century options to more modern builds, many of which feature spacious layouts and high ceilings. Properties, both old and new, generally feature spacious yards, and it's common for properties to butt up against the forests that run through the community. A 2,000-square-foot ranch-style home with raised ceilings goes for around $300,000 in Baker, while more spacious modern builds often sell for $400,000 to $600,000.
Baker homes are typically in the colonial revival style.

Baker High School offers a variety of notable courses.
High school known for academic quiz teams
The public schools in and around Baker are overseen by the Mobile County Public Schools district and are generally considered fairly strong for the area. Elsie Collier Elementary and Bernice J. Causey Middle School both sport B grades on Niche. Baker High School, meanwhile, has a B-plus on the site and was the first school in Alabama to win a national Hi-Q Championship—the school is well-known for its academic quiz teams.
Baker residents can swim at the West Mobile Swim Club.
Waterways are spots for recreation
While there aren’t any officially designated parks in the neighborhood, there are a number of options for locals looking to enjoy some time outside. Waterways in the area like scenic Miller Creek are perfect for fishing and even boating, both popular pastimes among locals. Those looking for a bit of exercise can always stop by the West Mobile Swim Club, which has been helping Baker residents keep cool on hot summer days for decades.
Dining options less than a mile from home
For most Baker residents, the airport isn’t as important as the extensive shopping and dining options that surround it. Airport Boulevard connects the neighborhood with dozens of department stores, from Hobby Lobby to Walmart to Home Depot, along with a variety of locally owned shops and supermarkets like Rouse’s and Aldi. The culinary offerings surrounding the airport are similarly impressive. Locals are less than a mile from dozens of popular eateries, from chains like Golden Corral to popular local eateries like highly rated Joe’s Pizza.
Baker residents love to grab a slice at Joe's Pizza & Pasta.
Baker is nearby the local Publix which is a neighborhood favorite.

Baker is one of the closest neighborhoods to the Mobile Regional Airport.
Getting to major highway is a bit of a drive
Baker itself is almost entirely residential, and it’s less than a mile from a major commercial hub: the Mobile Regional Airport. While the airport doesn’t see nearly as much passenger traffic as Mobile International Airport, it does offer regular flights to Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston. There isn’t any public transportation in the neighborhood to speak of, so car ownership is a must. Downtown Mobile is a 16-mile drive from the neighborhood; however, there aren’t any interstates near the neighborhood, so it usually takes about 30 minutes to get there.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
