A neighborhood that takes Mobile living to new heights
Malibar Heights’ name may conjure up images of towering mountains, but what’s actually present here are gently rolling hills and quaint ranch-style homes in proximity to urban amenities. “It’s an established neighborhood that’s been there since the 40s and 50s and conveniently located near shopping and the interstate,” says Jennifer Ballard, a Realtor with Bellator Real Estate who has been selling homes for over 7 years and a resident of Mobile for more than 20. “Some homes are in the $120,000 to $150,000 range.” Prices can get into the $200,000s, tapering off after $350,000. Beyond the neighborhood’s proximity to Interstate 65 and several shopping plazas, Malibar Heights is right next to Medal of Honor Park, a massive green space jam-packed with recreational options, and only 10 minutes south of the University of South Alabama.
Malibar Heights hosts many different home types.
Nestled in the rolling hills of Alabama, Malibar Heights offers serene living with a view.

Established ranch-style homes and more
Ranch-style homes are the most common on the market, but buyers can find other styles as well like Colonial Revival and the occasional Tudor Revival or Cape Cod. Streets are sometimes accompanied by sidewalks and exit onto larger thoroughfares at multiple points, preventing any bottlenecking. Lots tend to be shaded by mature trees and range in size from 7,000 square feet to a third of an acre. The most established homes were built during the 1940s, though most others sprang up between the late ‘60s and early 90s. Three-bedroom homes tend to start around $150,000 or lower and get up to around $350,000, though large, five-bedroom homes can surpass $400,000.

Shops and ice pops
“There aren’t any big shopping areas nearby, but there are a few little strip malls,” Ballard says. A Walmart Neighborhood Market and Dollar Tree can be found on the southeast corner of the neighborhood while Publix has two locations to the north and west. There’s also a Winn-Dixie on Grelot Road. Meat Boss is frequently ranked by Lagniappe Weekly readers as being the best barbecue restaurant – and having the best barbecue sauce – in all Mobile County. Customers can choose their own meat, bread, sauce and toppings to create their own delicious barbecue sandwiches. For dessert, residents can treat themselves to tasty Mexican ice pops at Jefe Paletas just next door, and they can even customize their popsicles with different ingredients including spicy chamoy.
Meat Boss is locally known throughout Malibar Heights as having the best BBQ around.

Malibar Heights’ parks
Medal of Honor Park is a cherished, 80-acre green space just next door to Malibar Heights that’s especially appealing to children. “They have a really cool playground,” Ballard says, the playground recently having been updated to feature rubber surfacing and transportation-themed play structures like a car and a train. “They also have a walking track, soccer fields, softball and baseball diamonds, a disc golf course and a dog park.” For a bit more seclusion, residents can walk to Malibar Heights Park near the heart of the neighborhood, a tree-shaded green oasis ideal for events like birthday parties or playing catch with one’s dog. The beaches of Dauphin Island are about a 40-minute drive south.
