Bayside
Suburban Neighborhood in Mobile, Alabama
Mobile County 36582, 36605
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.

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.”

Nearby Mobile County schools
Mobile County Public Schools earns a B-minus grade from Niche, and kids can start their journey at Hollinger’s Island Elementary, which Niche gives a C-plus Grade. Students then head to Katherine H. Hankins Middle, which earns a C from Niche. Older students move on to Theodore High, which earns a Niche C-plus and offers a new Distribution and Logistics Academy where students earn associate and technician certifications. Bayside residents are within 15 miles of the University of South Alabama’s Whitney Stadium and their new Stokes School of Marine and Environmental Sciences.

Holiday fun and Mardi Gras
Every year, fun-seekers drive 15 miles to Bellingrath Gardens & Home to delight in a breathtaking outdoor holiday lights display. And by far, the hottest event is the annual Mardi Gras in Downtown Mobile, filled with revelers of all ages decked in colorful masks, hats and costumes.Seafood, nearby shops and eateries
Seafood lovers dine on oysters, clams and fried catfish at the River Shack, featuring live music on weekends. At the Grand Mariner Restaurant, locals dig into steak, seafood and fried green tomatoes, at cozy bistro tables under red umbrellas. Since the 1960s, Hart’s Fried Chicken has been a Mobile go-to, so Bayside residents don’t mind the 8-mile trek north for Hart’s famous fried pickles and family chicken packs. Right near Hart’s, Mudbugs DIP stocks fresh-catch seafood, and locals check off larger grocery lists at Piggly Wiggly. Only 15 miles from Bayside, The Shoppes at Bel Air mall is packed with nearly 100 big-brand stores, small boutiques, professional services and dining from fancy to fast casual.

Important to Know
Lilley adds, “Bayside is a great middle ground to reach Mississippi to the west or Baldwin County to the east, across Mobile Bay. There’s a ferry that takes you from Fort Gaines on Dauphin Island to Fort Morgan on the Gulf Shores.”

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
