A growing suburb between Semmes and Mobile

Situated between U.S. Route 98 and Red Creek, the suburban neighborhood offers easy access to the museums and Main Street-style shops and restaurants on Dauphin Street.

Ranch-style homes and empty lots
A small offshoot of Red Creek runs through the middle of Garland, bisecting its residential subdivisions. The central branch can flood during heavy rains, so deep ditches and wide storm drains line most street curbs. The original homes were built between the 1960s and '80s. These ranch-style houses display elements of prairie architecture, with low-pitched hipped roofs extending across front porticos. Most homes stretch across half-acre lawns shaded by established oak trees and giant pines. These listings typically range between $125,000 and $250,000. The Kings Branch Estates subdivision is the neighborhood's most recent addition. New Traditional homes, some with Craftsman design elements like shingle-siding, sit neatly on quarter-acre lots outlined by freshly paved sidewalks. There are a few houses from the early 2000s that list around $285,000, but the new constructions range up to $350,000. Some empty lots on the west side of Garland start at $30,000.

Publix just opened 3 miles away
Everyday conveniences are fewer than 5 miles from Garland. “It’s close to groceries and big box chains, but not like department stores and those sorts of retailers; that’s going to be closer to Midtown,” Ballard says.

Yellowhammer Coffee “is a very popular local franchise down here,” Ballard says. “They’re local and family-owned, and they serve amazing coffee.”
