Mobile's waterfront community
Mobile, Alabama’s Bayside community enjoys water access everywhere — from the northern Dog River, to the eastern bay, to Deer River intersecting the heart of Bayside. Residents sail down Dog River to waterfront restaurants and dock at marinas which are visible from the Dog River bridge. Bayside anglers gear up at Deer River Bait and Tackle and launch into Mobile Bay, speckled with watercraft of varying sizes. Homes in Bayside are also within a 10-mile commute to the nearby Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley.
Homes with private pier and beach access
Many homes in Bayside have private piers leading to covered docks and private beach access. Waterfront styles include two-stories with brightly painted balconies, cottages with screen porches, and elevated ranch styles with decks and stairways to the lawn. Further inland, single-story bungalows with pastel siding, and Cape Cods with dormers, blend into the housing mix. Says Vicki Lilley, Realtor with Diamond Properties, “I see a lot of homebuyers moving to the Mobile side of the bay because there’s not as much development here as there is in the Orange Beach touristy side. You get more affordable housing here, without the hustle and bustle of the city, and with loads of waterfront enjoyment. You can be in Gulf Shores in an hour and Dauphin Island within 15 or 20 minutes.” Pricing ranges from $155,000 for a 1960s fixer-upper on Dog River’s Alligator Bayou, to around $750,000 for a well-maintained 1960s three-bedroom brick rancher on the bay. Some streets curve along the water, and in the springtime, lawns are bursting with bright azaleas.
There is also a small section of Bayside with Minimal Style homes.
Some Bayside homes have private beach access.
Bayside has many homes built directly on Mobile Bay.

Community parks
At Hollinger’s Park Community Center, there’s a small, uncrowded beach for swimming or picnics. Exercise enthusiasts and local athletes appreciate the fitness and sports facilities at Trimmier Park, just 5 miles north across the Dog River Bridge. Lilley adds, “In Bayside, you’re not only closer to Mississippi, but you have the Intracoastal canals, which is just a beautiful ride. You’ll see manatees all along Dog River and loads of dolphins out on the bay. It’s really quite special.”
