Getting out of town
In Cottage Park, residents enjoy a peaceful lifestyle on the outskirts of Mobile. While the neighborhood is just 20 miles from the city center, this Alabama suburb feels more like a small town. “We’re not too far from Shops on Schillinger, where you can get just about everything you want,” explains Cheryl Wesley, manager at Lantana Trace Apartments. There’s been a recent upswing of home construction that gives the area a modern vibe, but mazes of tree-lined streets still offer shade and seclusion. Combined with its semi-rural setting, Cottage Park’s diverse home and property styles appeal to a variety of tastes.
Cottage Park offers larger lots as well.
Homes in the Cottage Park area are a wonderful mix of traditional houses.

From cottages to Craftsman-style
Snug single-story brick bungalows sit alongside low-slung ranch houses and four-bedroom Craftsman-style homes with steeply pitched roofs. The properties are nicely spaced, with attached garages, paved driveways and sprawling front yards, yet the area retains a neighborly feel; neighbors aren’t living right next to each other, but most are close enough for outdoor conversation. In recent years, the area has seen a lot of new construction, with many houses built from the mid-aughts to the late 2010s. Cottage Park homes typically cost between $250,000 and $500,000.
Cottage Park has many cozy, Ranch Style homes on medium sized lots.
Cottage Park also has it's fair share of recently built, Craftsman Style homes.

Mardi Gras in Mobile

Taking flight
Because Cottage Park is so far west of the city center, public transportation is scarce. Residents need cars for most errands. “We are within walking distance of Publix and Dollar General, but most people drive,” Wesley says. It takes about half an hour to commute to Mobile’s Central Business District. For access to the wider world, Mobile Regional Airport is about 5 miles away.
