Woven into acres of lush farmland, piney woods and bubbling creek beds is the town of Robertsdale. This quiet Baldwin County community was established in 1921 and is home to nearly 7,200 residents. “The biggest perk of Robertsdale is that it’s centrally located, so you can quickly get to the Gulf Shores or Orange Beach areas for a beach day,” says Realtor Holly Hayek with Maximus Real Estate Inc. Hayek’s been selling homes for nearly a decade. “It’s also a quick drive to Fairhope or Foley, so you can get to those restaurants and shopping pretty easily.” Robertsdale is also less than 30 miles from Mobile's major employers and downtown entertainment, including the annual Mardi Gras festival. Baldwin County is one of the state's highest-rated school districts. Robertsdale is also home to the Baldwin County State Fair, which attracts visitors from Mobile and Escambia Counties.
