Navco
Suburban Neighborhood in Mobile, Alabama
Mobile County 36605
Ranch-style homes and investment opportunities
Throughout Navco homebuyers can expect to see snug yards lined with tall pine trees, with some backyards extending into local forests and wetlands. Ranch-style homes are the primary offering here in Navco, though styles and building materials vary quite a bit. There are classic brick-sided homes and shingle-style houses that offer more of a coastal vibe. Prices for homes in the neighborhood range from $80,000 to $140,000, with some previously sold homes selling for as low as $30,000. Many homes offer opportunities to renovate homes for personal use, resale or rentals, notes Realtor Jennifer Ballard with Bellator Real Estate, who’s sold homes for 10 years. “It is a more transitional area, but there are more and more people interested in investing with its location,” Ballard says. Heavy storms and hurricanes are common in Mobile, so homes in Navco are susceptible to flooding.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.
