Airmont is a Mobile neighborhood enjoying welcome transformation
As older suburban neighborhoods in west Mobile adapt and change to shifting 21st-century landscapes, the ones that lead the way enjoy practical advantages. Airmont, with its location at the convergence of Interstate 65 and Highway 90, is facing “a big transformation,” according to Hanna Rudzinsky, a Realtor with Salt Coast Realty, a Mobile native, and a real estate agent for more than four years. “With its super convenient location near interstates, proximity to downtown Mobile, and new retail projects coming soon, Airmont is getting ready to see notable appreciation.”
Airmont is a suburban neighborhood that is established and settled. People who move in tend to stay for a long time. Many homeowners have lived here for more than 30 or 40 years. With a population of about 2,200 people, about half of the homes are owner-occupied, while the rest are rentals. Realtor Rudzindky explains, “Historically, homes in Airmont have not had high resale value, but that’s starting to change. Homes used to sell for less than $100,000, but today the average home price is much higher. And that’s partly thanks to new retail developments, like Top Golf.”
The most notable natural attraction in Airmont is The Dog River, an 8-mile-long brackish river that runs north from Mobile, through Airmont, and then south to Mobile Bay. It is exceedingly popular with local fishing fans who can catch bass, croaker, speckled trout and flounder. Websites are dedicated to the river’s history, water quality and daily fishing reports.
Airmont is connected with Highway 90 and is adjacent to the Spring Creek Neighborhood.
Top Golf is close to Airmont and is a fun place to hit some Golf Balls while eating & drinking.
