"Starter homes" from the 1970s and '90s
Homes in Devonshire were built between the 1970s and '90s. Ranch-style homes display prairie architectural influences, with low-pitched roofs highlighting the giant oak trees towering above. Over-hanging eaves extend across spacious front porches and steel garage doors. "These are your starter homes," Ballard says. "They're going to be on the lower price end, they're not going to be too big, and they have fairly traditional floor plans." Most homes are under 2,000 square feet, but listing prices vary depending on the house's condition. Recently renovated and well-maintained older homes range between $125,000 and $250,000, while fixer-uppers start around $100,000. Stone Mill is a new subdivision in Devonshire's mostly undeveloped, far north corner. Breaking ground in 2024, the developing community has large empty lots ranging from $25,000 to $65,000.

Restaurants and retailers on Government Boulevard
Restaurants and retailers sit about 3 miles east of Devonshire, along Government Boulevard. Winn Dixie sells groceries next to national chains like Godfather's Pizza and Waffle House. Just north, Simply Seafood is a small local market where folks can buy live or boiled crawfish and fresh Gulf shrimp. Dick Russell's Bar-B-Q serves Southern-style breakfast platters and smoked brisket in a big red barn further up the road. Neighbors is another favorite local restaurant even closer to Devonshire. Opening in 1992, this hole-in-the-wall spot has country classics like fried okra, homemade banana pudding, and freshly harvested oysters from the Gulf of Mexico. More local restaurants and shopping centers are 10 miles north on Airport Boulevard.

Launch kayaks from Halls Mill Creek Landing
Halls Mill Creek winds around the north end of Devonshire, spilling into the Dog River about 6 miles east. The mouth of the creek is a great spot to catch redfish and speckled trout, while bream and crappies are usually found further north. Halls Mill Creek Landing makes it easy to launch kayaks straight into the water. Dreamland Skate Center sits less than a mile outside the neighborhood. It has an old-school roller rink, an arcade with games from the early 90s, and a concession stand.

30 miles from the Chevron Pascagoula Refinery
Devonshire sits just outside Mobile's city limits in a small, unincorporated community called Tillmans Corner. It's fewer than 3 miles from one of the area's busiest crossroads, where Interstate 10 meets U.S. Route 90. Commuters can follow either road about 30 miles west to reach the Chevron Pascagoula Refinery or head 70 miles east to arrive in Pensacola. The nearest full-service medical center, USA Health Providence Hospital, is about 7 miles north of the neighborhood, along Airport Boulevard. It's less than a 10-mile drive from here to Mobile Regional Airport.

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.
