With roots in the lumber industry and hillsides blanketed in tall trees, it's easy to see how Jackson earned the nickname "Pine City." Planted off the banks of the Tombigbee River, the small Alabama town supports shipping industries and a recreational lifestyle. "I'm originally from Mobile, and I've been in Jackson for over 55 years. It's laid-back and community-oriented. I raised my kids here," says Rhonda Harvey, a Realtor with Wilson Real Estate. "It's a small town, but there's a lot to do. It's an outdoorsy area." Jackson also hosts multiple outdoor gatherings and events throughout the year, like the Fire Prevention Day Parade, sponsored by the Volunteer Fire Department. Jackson offers a collection of housing styles throughout the area. Many homes have front doorsteps leading to front porches with columns.
