Quiet community 3 miles from downtown

Maysville is known for its quiet, wide streets and sidewalks where folks can walk to schools, parks and restaurants around the community. “People have a convenient 3-mile drive to downtown, with more quiet streets and lower home prices,” says Mitchell Hudson, Realtor for 3 years in Mobile with iXL Real Estate. This suburb has historic origins as one of the oldest neighborhoods in Mobile, developed in the late 1890s. The early architecture has faded over the years, but the old-school suburban charm is present in the early 1900s bungalows and cottages preceded by modest front lawns and breezy front porches. Kids feel safe playing on the spacious grid streets with cautionary speed bumps, and they can easily walk to school for kindergarten through 12th grade in the heart of the neighborhood at George Hall Elementary and Lillie B. Williamson High. Weekend entertainment can be found across the street from Williamson at Lad-Peebles Stadium, home to the University of South Alabama’s football team and concerts throughout the year. Folks walk or drive a mile north along Government Street to get groceries and a bite to eat.

Early 1900s cottages and bungalows

Midsize yards and shady oaks give the community a laid-back atmosphere. “The homes are older, but they can be found for lower prices than those downtown,” The community has rows of cozy cottages and small Craftsman bungalows with shady front porches from the early-to-mid 1900s. These modest three-bedroom homes can be found for about $80,000, but prices range to almost $150,000 for a single-story Foursquare with a prairie-style wrap-around porch. Those in the mood to do some renovations can find cottages and bungalows waiting to be restored to their former glory for as low as $40,000.
