A slice of Southern paradise near Mobile Bay
Bordered by the Dog River and near the majestic Mobile Bay, the Riverside neighborhood offers waterfront homes and a country-in-the-city feel. “It’s lovely and really convenient because it’s only 2 minutes south of Interstate 10 and only a few minutes from downtown,” says Justin Wilhelmy, a Realtor with IXL Real Estate. Home to a rural, laid-back lifestyle, residents are treated to endless water recreation, proximity to a rich dining, shopping and arts scene and affordable homes with plenty of room to spread out and create their own little slice of paradise.
From Creole cottages to modest ranchers
Homes in Riverside are a mix of traditional and modern. Newcomers will find simple cottages and their Creole counterparts can be found with contemporary designs, waterfront estate homes, farmhouses and modest ranch-style houses.

Riverside homes boast inviting, covered front porches, well-kept, lush lawns, detached expansive garages and driveways perfect for parking boats or other toys. Yards filled with palms and mature trees offer plenty of shade and add to the neighborhood’s Southern charm and appeal.
