Overlook is close to the University of South Alabama
Tennis courts. A golf course. Walking trails. Opportunities for exercise are abundant in Overlook, where homeowners use Langan Park, the Azalea City Golf Course and the campus of University of South Alabama (USA) like their own backyard. A quiet suburb nine miles west of downtown Mobile, Overlook is a good match for those seeking proximity to urban conveniences but a slower pace and a prettier backdrop. And talk about backdrops. In addition to the manicured South Alabama campus and the sprawling greenery of Langan Park, Overlook enjoys easy access to bright botanical flowers, tranquil Japanese koi ponds and, at the Mobile Museum of Art, colorful artworks along the Sculpture Trail.

Ranch-style homes strut their stuff in Overlook
Ranch-style homes here have some fun, catching the eye with their striking shapes and styles. Some exude mid-century cool while others whisper Greek-Revival with their stately columns. Many homes have side-gabled roofs with small, covered porches, which all lend the rows of houses a tidy uniformity. Other styles include brick Colonials and split-levels. Trees are abundant, and inviting sidewalks enhance the community vibe in a few Overlook subdivisions. Prices range from $141,000 for a four-bedroom ranch-style house in need of TLC to $313,000 for a four-bedroom renovated rancher in Alpine Park. Other neighborhood subdivisions include Alpine Hills and Ridgewood Acres.

Langan Park is home to hiking trails and a lake
The Glenn Sebastian Nature Trail winds through 95-acres of long needle pine and oak woodlands on the grounds of the University of Southern Alabama just south of Overlook. Raised boardwalks navigate the trail's scenic trees and lakes. Another green space, Langan Park, is just east of campus. “Langan Park is a park with walking trails and an amphitheater,” says Steve Hickman, Realtor with Keller-Williams Mobile and longtime Mobile local. Municipal Park, which is attached to Langan, has baseball and football fields. “Across another street is the Japanese gardens, and they have huge koi ponds and walking trails.” The nearby Mobile Tennis Center, home to 60 state-of-the-art lighted hard courts, hosts various leagues and clinics.

Via Emilia earns kudos for its Northern Italian fare
One of the area’s most popular restaurants is Via Emilia, which specializes in Northern Italian cuisine. Perusing the extensive wine list in the piano bar makes a fine start to the evening at this mainstay, where dishes like eggplant Emilia and lamb Florentine are made from scratch daily with locally sourced ingredients. And coffee? It's a short drive to good java. “The local college, USA, is probably 15 minutes away,” says Waylon Bailey, general manager at Soul Caffeine in Midtown. “We have a lot of college students and professors come in and do work.” Soul Caffeine also serves breakfast and lunch. Walmart Neighborhood Market is convenient to the neighborhood.
