River life in Phenix City, Alabama
The Chattahoochee River's whitewater rapids form the border between Alabama and Georgia, and the bridges over them connect Phenix City's 38,000 residents to jobs and recreation on the Georgia side. "It feels more like a suburb of Columbus, Georgia, than its own city," says Alex Acuff, Realtor for EXP Realty, who grew up in the area. Many folks who work across the river at tech companies like TYSYS or the Army's Fort Moore take advantage of Alabama's lower taxes by living in Phenix City. But Phenix City has its own attractions, including a growing downtown along the river, anchored by the Phenix City Amphitheater and a Troy University campus. Deeper into Alabama, new subdivisions are popping up, often followed by new shopping and dining options.
Ladonia homes are sitting amongst a plethora of trees and greenery.

Lower taxes and lower sale prices in Phenix City
According to Niche, Phenix City's median sale price is $154,000, about 45% lower than the national median of $281,900. According to Realtor Michael Terrell with Keller William Realty, who has nearly a decade of experience in real estate and was born and raised in Phenix City, "It used to be that houses were at a lower price point than in Columbus, but now the prices are pretty equal in square footage. But the real benefit of living on this side of the river is that the taxes are much lower. Many retired military members also choose to live over here because of that." Homes clustered around the city center are typically mid-20th century builds, costing between $50,000 and $200,000. Moving farther out from the city center, subdivisions of larger, recently built new-traditional homes in areas like Ladonia have a higher price point, ranging between $200,000 and $300,000. Phenix City also features occasional multimillion-dollar riverfront properties.

Residents shop between both Phenix City and Columbus
Residents travel between the intertwined communities of Phenix City and Columbus for their dining and shopping needs. Columbus offers the Peachtree Mall and big box shopping centers just a few miles north, where residents can go to a Target, Walmart or Sam's Club. Phenix City has smaller shopping centers with locally owned supply stores and restaurants along 13th Street, including the locally owned 13th Street Barbecue, which Terrell notes as a favorite. A new retail center will break ground along Highway 280, "significantly increase the city's dining options," says Shaun Culligan, Phenix City's Economic Development Manager. "We plan to build at least three casual and fast casual dining areas within the complex."

For some high-octane entertainment, the beloved East Alabama Motor Speedway has a dirt track with regular races and monster truck rallies.
