The area has been beloved by locals and newcomers alike. “It's an aspirational area for sure,” says realtor Christy Gustin, who lives and works in a neighboring historic district of Mobile. “People love to go to the home tours, but we have a lot of people who are interested from out of state.”

Century-old homes with modern updates
The grand old homes along Dauphin Street have changed hands many times over the years, but their original flavor and flare have been preserved. Victorian spires and gables of century-old Colonials peek out from behind the leafy canopy of Georgia Avenue’s mature oaks. Ornamental details, characteristic of early 20th-century homes, from gingerbread trim to Corinthian columns, give this community its unique style.
“It’s an exciting, eclectic, close-knit neighborhood with a beautiful mix of old homes,” says Gustin. While it is possible to find some newer builds, such as ‘80s Craftsmen or ‘70s ranch-styles, most homes in the area are at least a century old. The covered, wrap-around porches of painted Victorians and Southern Colonials face the web of sidewalks connecting the residential grid of the neighborhood.
Moderate-sized homes in Georgia Avenue sell for a median price of $270,000, but spacious, meticulously renovated homes that preserve the old-world beauty of the house while adapting it to modern standards of appliances and wiring, can exceed $500,000.
As Georgia Avenue is in a historic district, there is an expectation from the local historic society and the Mobile Historic Development Commission that homeowners will maintain the original character of their property. A permit will be required for major renovations to the exterior of homes.
