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.

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.
