Fairhope downtown near Another Broken Egg, That one block reminds me a bit of the tourist towns in Colorado. The pretty colors on the buildings, flowers, and overall look is kinda like Breckenridge or Estes Park Colorado. (Without the mountains of course) The park by the Fountain on the bay is beautiful.

There is a lot to be said for a already landscaping and window coverings. I would never again do an HOA

I think some of this information my be misleading. Alabama DOES tax income from 401K plans, but not social security or pension plans. That may be important to some people, so they should be aware of this. czcams.com/video/RexUC_8DOl4/video.html

No please don't move here. It's terrible I've lived here since '73 so I know. Pass through on your way to anywhere else.

I found a 3000 sq ft house with a 400sq ft covered back porch and the yard is .62 acres. Foley is a great place to live. We are happy to be close to all major water ways not to mention less than 1 hour to Pensacola beach.

The blacker an area is the worse it is. Sorry, those are the facts. Mobile is a horrible place to live. Birmingham is also. Avoid those areas for sure.

Another very informative video. Love how you personalize the livability of LA. Are there any new construction builders other than DRHorton? They have such a poor reputation where I live. I want this to be my forever home and would like the names of some of your more reputable builders to research. Thank you so much.

I’m almost ready.

Nice

Great video

And About Criminality, I See in Internet this Alabam Not Safe State i many cities/ County

LA is my kind of place. ❤😍🇺🇸

I'm curious if you looked at Pace and Milton, Florida, or just Pensacola.

We just sold our condo on 30-a, and we are looking to move to a place on a nice lake, spring, or bay. We need to be pretty close to decent medical. we are old farts, & we have health issues. But N. FL. and Alabama is home.

I appreciate your work but you can get a new build today for 315k in daphne-which is not outrageous. But I certainly think a focused realtor is helpful, so thanks

TOOOOOOOOO many people are moving to Baldwin County!!!!! It has changed so much!!!!

People drive fast, no cops in sight no speed bumps HOA is high compared to what you get because you will never get into the pool without it being overcrowded and NO rules are enforced so if you like NO rules and people driving 100 in a 25 its great

We used to go to Fairhope all the time when we lived in Pensacola, it is so cute! We ended up moving to Huntsville, AL, though, which is also very nice and more mountainous 😊 much cheaper than FL too!

How far away is Daphne from West Mobile/Airport Blvd?

I may not be looking at Baldwin or Mobile Counties to relocate to, but at least I'll have the opportunity to visit. I'm looking at Escambia, Covington, and Barbour Counties as potential retirement relocation possibilities in Alabama.

Hey I am looking in the foley area and my wife and I need a realtor in the near 2025 time frame

We learned about Fairhope and we love it, and we wanted to be near the beach. But our realtor found a 4 bedroom brick ranch with a big fenced yard in Foley. The price was much lower and it is close to downtown, not in a Subdivision. Pros and cons to that. Homeowners that really care about the upkeep of their homes and some that don’t. Fewer night spots and the town closes early, but Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are close and they stay open much later. I like it because it’s centrally located. Pensacola and Mobile are 45 minutes away. Many native Alabamans but tons of upper midwesterners. Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin. A good mix. If you’re from the northeast….probably not for you and I know. I grew up in NJ but then lived 30 years in Atlanta, so pretty easy for me. Culturally, not a lot but Fairhope has more of those kind of things as well as Gulf shores and of course, Pensacola. But you get a small town feel. It depends if you want that. You have to visit and make up your own mind and it’s easy to make friends if you’re willing to try. Like anywhere else.

After selling our winter home in Tucson, AZ, we asked our daughter if she had any suggestions for a new winter haven. She suggested Foley, AL knowing we are not really beach people. We were totally sold, and we bought 3 homes there; one for us and one each for each of our children who are nearing retirement.

You should rename your video to, "If you are moving to Mobile, don't!" There was absolutely no info about Mobile. Wow. Mobile has a lot to offer, too.

Great Video!

Mobile is also the Rainiest city in the Continental US by number of inches. Some years it is technically a rain forest. If you havent experienced hot and humid climates before definitely visit first. I have seen the humidity and heat melt an engagement because she was from a cooler area.

Mobile is laid out like a folding hand fan. The main roads converge and merge as you get closer to downtown.

It's pronounced Scaryland! We don't need anymore people in Satsuma, it's terrible!

Hopefully one day…

We, me and the wife, have visited Fairhope this April. It was our favorite place out of all we visited during our Miami-Austin road trip! Can confirm, people are super friendly!

Tony. I am looking for luxury at affordable cost 800k to 900k. In Birmingham Montgomery. I do not like lower Alabama to live. Gulf Shores Mobile Alabama is Nice but not to live Daphne is ugly in my opinion.

Great Information video

thanks.

thanks.

Hi Tony and Jess: Although I plan on retiring later this year (even though my bosses are begging me put it off) I'm still roughly 5 years away from leaving the wretched icebox of NW Wisconsin (mostly for health insurance reasons, but also my son is still in college). I'm looking at relocating to either Southern Alabama or Southern Georgia (along the Florida border). Both areas have a much lower cost of living than FL. I'm also at the age that I don't want to be in the bullseye of a hurricane (or multiple hurricanes) every year. Also, both AL and GA offer very generous tax incentives to retirees (something that my state's elected officials fail to grasp). If I want to visit any of the Gulf Coast beaches, I can be at them in a matter of 2-4 hours (at the most) depending on traffic. As for what I would look for, being in a more rural area, I'd be looking at a doublewide (3B/2B, but might go as high as 4B/3B if the price was right). One advantage I would probably have, based on speaking to a few agents in those areas, is that I would be able to pay cash. Reason being is that (not all, but a significant number) lenders will not finance a manufactured home. Roughly a year and a half ago I was very angry, bitter, and resentful when I realized I would be priced out of a Florida retirement (and I was looking at the middle of the state north of Orlando (between Leesburg and Ocala. At one time both areas were considered a bargain for budget minded retirees like myself. Now the entire state is overpriced). However, living in a rural area, I would probably stick out like a sore thumb with my northern accent.

I'm sold on Baldwin County. Unfortunately, my wife is not. She had trouble walking on the beach and fell 3 times. I love the beach. I also thought the people were nice, too.

Agree❤

Another excellent video guys ...🤙

Great video . Moved from Dallas/Collin County to Orange beach Sept ‘23 ..after 17 years in TX and 8M+ people now in DFW(!!) needed a quality of life change + found it in Baldwin Co 😊

Appreciate you sharing realistic expectations that one should consider. How much income would a single retiree need to relocate to Baldwin County? I have read that Alabama is very tax friendly for retirees. Thank you for making another fantastic video. P.S. What is the average age of the people living in Baldwin county?

NOT TRUE ??? BS !! It is always jammed packed as more and more sheeple keep moving in from their democratic run states. Foley has become a greed for money city. I live here and have to go swim in Pensacola Florida since it is always crowded and can't find parking which is now $15 if you can find a spot. I lived here for 13 years and it has changed from a beautiful retirement city to bumper to bumper circus. Being you people work for real estate you will tell people anything to sell a home. Anyone need the proof of how bad Foley has gotten, contact me as I have photo proof.

Great content much appreciated.

Can you help those of us who are also interested in renting a house or condo?

Great video welcome back love yall content

Do your homework before you move anywhere. The advice I heard is if you want to move somewhere, visit it at least three times.

What cities are near Gulf Shores and Orange Beach?

THANKS GUYS, AND HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DADS!! 🎉❤🎉
