Less expensive homes 1 mile from downtown
As downtown Mobile grows, people look just over a mile away to Texas Street for less expensive homes in a quieter environment. “This area has an older charm, but there’s lots of activity going on,” says Bernard Richardson, Realtor for 15 years in Mobile, now with Berkshire Hathaway Cooper & Co. Folks easily walk along the grid of streets to neighborhood hangouts and just a bit further to bars and restaurants downtown. During the week, commuters have a short drive to the business district and across the Mobile River to the Alabama Shipyard. They can also hop on Interstate 10 to get anywhere along the Port of Mobile. After a day at work or downtown, folks come home to small ranch-style and bungalow homes accompanied by midsize front and back yards that tend to go for about $140,000. Neighborhood kids walk to Council Traditional School, rated a B-plus by Niche. After school, they walk to James Seals Park and Community Center to join a pick-up game.

Just over a mile walk to downtown restaurants
“People here are in a perfect spot to be a part of all the activity downtown,” says Richardson. Residents walk just over a mile north to Dauphin Street, the heart of downtown Mobile. Here, folks dine on briny Gulf oysters at Wintzell’s Oyster House and join their neighbors for coffee and fried pillows of goodness at Mo’ Bay Beignet Company. They also enjoy a night of cold drinks at POST or Brickyard. Folks also walk to local hangouts less than a mile from many homes, like HopHounds Brew Pub & Dog Park, where pups play in the outdoor dog park while their parents sip on craft beer. People also enjoy a cold pint and pub fare at Callaghan’s Irish Social Club. A new neighborhood favorite is The Ice Box Bar, an old ice factory turned into a drinking establishment. When they’re not having fun at restaurants and bars, folks check off their grocery list around the corner at Greer’s or Greer’s Downtown Market.

Blocks of Bungalows
The neighborhood has blocks of narrow shotgun-style bungalows, small ranch-style homes, and cozy cottages. Midsize front and back yards give residents room to breathe with a decent amount of green space compared to those downtown. Tall pines show the neighborhood's old charm, with homes dating from the early 1900s to the 1950s. Smaller cottages can start as low as 80,000, but most two-to-three-bedroom bungalows and ranch-style homes can be found for about $140,000, and more spacious ranch-style homes can reach about $190,000. Accents of Mobile’s historic charm can be seen in the community, such as a large Queen Anne home from the late 1800s, with large bay windows and rambling roof lines ornamented with fine carpentry details.
Historic Shotgun-style homes are still present in the Texas Street neighborhood.
Texas St. has many smaller Shotgun Style homes which provides a Southern charm.

They continue at Calloway-Smith Middle School, rated a C-minus, and finish at Murphy High, given a C-plus.

America’s first Mardi Gras
Most people would identify Mardi Gras with New Orleans, but America’s first Mardi Gras festival was held in Mobile. “The neighborhood is in a great spot for Mardi Gras,” says Richardson, “people can walk right up the street to join the festivities downtown.” The first two weeks of February are full parades and parties leading to the big festival. The city effectively shuts down and gets covered in purple, green and gold.
Texas St. is only minutes from all the Mardi Gras action downtown.
