Neely is a small suburb northwest of Mobile offering all the quaint charm of rural living while still being just a short drive from all the attractions of downtown. Here, you'll find full-brick ranch-style homes, Craftsman-style houses and bungalows with inviting front porches and fenced-in backyards. Residential streets are lined by oak trees, providing a shady canopy for neighborhood strolls. Home prices range from $25,000 to $155,000.
Within the neighborhood is Elizabeth S. Chastang K-8 School, which serves both the elementary and secondary school years and offers plenty of extracurricular activities to enrich students. Teenagers attend LeFlore Magnet High School, named after community leader, educator and civil rights activist John L. LeFlore. This historic school offers signature academies like the Academy of Arts, the Academy of Law and Public Safety, the Academy of Business and Computer Technology and the Academy of Health Science. Students also have the opportunity to pursue additional education at Faulkner Career Tech Center. The school's curriculum is designed to prepare students for college and beyond with comprehensive, honors and advanced placement classes.
Local athletes flock to Trinty Gardens Park for its softball and baseball fields, football field, basketball courts and walking path. Kids can play at the park's playground while guardians watch from nearby benches. The Michael Dow Amphitheater sits at the park and is the setting for a monthly concert series. Next to the park is Doth Community Center, where residents can play games of pool, shoot hoops, meet up with local organizations and much more. The park's swimming pool is open seasonally, the perfect escape from the sweltering Alabama heat. Also nearby is Mill Street Park. The park's focal point is its playground and swing sets.
Visitors can gather at the park's shaded picnic pavilion for celebrations. When residents want to mix things up from the mature oaks that decorate their neighborhood, the expertly landscaped Charles Wood Japanese Garden is just a short drive away. The educational facility offers classes on Japanese culture, language and arts for all ages. Visitors can explore all 12 acres of the gardens and spot koi fish and turtles. There's an additional 12 acres of wooded trails on the grounds for hikers to explore as well.
Fat Boys Diner serves heart comfort food. Breakfast means cheesy omelets, grits, biscuits and sausage, while lunch promises turkey clubs, patty melts, chicken wing platters and fries dressed in all sorts of toppings. At Kiss the Cook Café, you can feast on soul food staples like oxtails, macaroni and cheese, fried chicken and candied yams. There's a lot of buzz about HoneyBee Daquiri Bar & Eatery. In addition to tasty frozen beverages, the restaurant serves delicious wings, turkey necks, chicken and red velvet waffles and other Southern fare. The eatery hosts Game Night every Friday, with giant Jenga, Connect 4, checkers and other fun tabletop activities.
Neely is a community that provides a feeling of seclusion, with residential streets tucked away in thick tree coverage while still being very close to neighbors. While it has a rural feel, locals are just a short drive from the over 6,000 works of fine and decorative arts that make up the permanent collection of the Mobile Museum of Art or from catching a show at Playhouse in the Park.

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.
