Mobile Overview

The city of Mobile, Alabama is a culturally rich urban center that sits at the mouth of the Mobile River. As only the 122nd largest city in the country, apartments in Mobile offer a midway point between small town and big city living. Residents can take advantage of Mobile's status as a regional medical center. Museums, theaters, a symphony, an opera a ballet and a rich cultural tradition that includes Mardi Gras all provide local flavor while its history as a major transportation hub ensures that apartment residents never feel too far away from the action. Picturesque colonial architectural influences from its French colonial and plantation periods blend seamlessly with modern structures that overlook the bay. Mobile apartments offer an excellent balance between rich culture and modern conveniences.

Why live in Mobile, AL?

Mobile is a city that is rich in Southern culture and its thriving art scene stands in contrast to its identity as a bustling port city. In various quarters of the city, one feels transported back in time while in others it is clearly a modern, sophisticated metropolis and even a regional medical center for medicine. A history of struggles has imbued Mobile with a sense of self-awareness of its own identity that other cities lack and it now embraces both its African American and French-Cajun roots, resulting in a unique sense of place like no other.
