It’s a very convenient area.”

Azalea bushes and ranch-style homes

Westmont enjoys a cohesive visual design, as most homes are either ranch-style or split level homes. “The houses are reasonably priced. It’s mostly older homes in the neighborhood,” says Hastings. “We don’t see a lot of new builds.” Single-family homes sell for a median of $175,000, making the area less pricey than other neighborhoods in Mobile.
