If you're looking for a great place to raise a family or retire, Fairhope real estate is the perfect place to start. Fairhope sits along side Mobile Bay in lower Alabama and has become a "must place to see or live in" when it comes to its rich history, beauty, and entertainment. From the 32-mile running trail that runs through Fairhope on Scenic 98 (with all of its moss covered oaks) to the eclectic downtown area with nearly 80 local shops and boutiques, you will see that Fairhope stands alone in Baldwin County. It's well-known in all of lower Alabama that Fairhope is one of the top communities to live for a full-time residence or as a second home retreat.  

Fairhope is located 18.7 miles from Mobile, 32.2 miles from Gulf Shores, and 59.2 miles from Pensacola FL.  

You can see from the data above that the homes for sale in Fairhope vary greatly in price. Costs are a little higher here compared to other cities and towns in Baldwin County which reflects in a higher price per square foot. This is solely due to demand. The Fairhope real estate market has been a sought-after area for many years, and it doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon.

Residential real estate varies quite a bit. You'll find mainly older homes near downtown and Mobile Bay, while within just a few miles, new subdivisions are being developed, like Battle's Trace at the Colony.

Most people who are drawn to purchase real estate in Fairhope love the quaint atmosphere, its proximity to the bay, and picturesque landscape. Fairhope has a fairly large land mass that is continually growing with new developments popping up over the city. The area is large enough, however, that you won't feel crowded.
