Perched near the lower edge of West Mobile is Pierce Creek, an exurb cradled by a serene creek. Residents here are treated to a quiet lifestyle with shopping, schools and dining just a short drive away.

The neighborhood offers single-family, ranch-style homes, Creole cottages, stately contemporary brick houses and lakefront properties.

Pierce Creek offers three- to five-bedroom homes boasting multi-car garages, nicely paved walkways and lush, spacious lawns spanning up to 5 acres. Residents take great pride in their homes, with beautifully landscaped yards adorned with ornamental shrubs, azaleas and palm trees. Some homes even boast satsuma trees, blueberry bushes, lemon trees and kumquat trees – giving a very warm and homey feel. Most yards are fenced-in, but some offer backyard gazebos, in-ground pools, koi ponds and intricate patios primed for entertaining. While residents enjoy solitude and tranquility in Pierce Creek, there’s fun to be had in all directions.

Pierce Creek residents enjoy picnicking, fishing or paddling around the expansive lake in the middle of the neighborhood. And while there aren’t any parks directly within the boundaries, Westside Park is just a 5-mile drive away, where residents can catch a youth baseball game, let the kids play or stroll around the park’s paved paths. West Mobile Swim Club is the local hub for summer fun. Members of the community pool can take a dip in the large outdoor pool or fly down the water slide. The club also offers swim lessons and competitive swimming.
Airport Boulevard is a hub for shopping and dining. Residents can get a classic burger and fries at Whataburger. Or they can grab a cold pint, listen to live music and cheer on the Alabama Crimson Tide at Boondock’s Bar & Grill. Joe’s Piza & Pasta is also a popular spot with locals, and residents can enjoy a sweet treat from Southern Cream, an upscale ice cream truck. In the Vigouroux Marketplace shopping center, residents can get essentials at Winn-Dixie, Walgreens or Rite-Aid. The strip also boasts a hair salon, Subway and gas station. On the other side of the street is Region’s Bank and Compass Urgent Care. For more diverse shopping, head 5 miles up Airport Boulevard to the Mobile Flea Market, the Gulf Coast’s largest flea market, which boasts about 800 vendors from all over the world. Here, grab a burger, cotton candy and fresh-squeezed lemonade while perusing its treasure trove of unique finds.
