Jackson Creek
Similar price point to Mobile
The real estate market in Jackson Creek is somewhat competitive, with a variety of homes at a wide range of price points. The median sale price for a single-family home was around $180,000 in late 2023, on par with pricing in greater Mobile. Many of the homes are modest ranches, accentuated by columns, steepled gables and covered front porches. There are also modern Acadian homes with well-manicured landscaping and mature tree growth. The streets of Jackson Creek are peaceful and well-maintained, though most lack sidewalks. Homes tend to have driveways, though a carport is more common than a garage in this warm climate. Houses range in price from under $75,000 on the low end for a modest three-bedroom fixer upper to nearly $400,000 on the high end for a spacious four-bedroom new build.

Solid and diverse school system
Families with children in Jackson Creek are served by Mobile County Schools, a B-minus district with an A in diversity from Niche. Kids can start their education at Haskew Elementary, a B-plus school where students are taught to become leaders early by becoming safety patrol members, being involved in the daily news broadcast or leading special programs. Grand Bay Middle gets a C-plus from Niche and has a school uniform policy that is said to be a tool to ensure student safety through visual identification. Another C-plus school, Theodore High School has a full slate of seasonal sports and activities, including golf and bowling.

Nearby shopping and dining
Residents of Jackson Creek appreciate the quiet of the neighborhood and don’t mind a little driving to access local shopping and dining destinations. For stocking up on groceries and essentials, there’s a Walmart Neighborhood Market just over three miles away via Old Pascagoula Road. For bargain shopping even closer to home, Dollar General is about a mile south. “If we’re going out, it’s usually in West Mobile somewhere, which is only 10 minutes away,” Hamilton says. Many residents bring their home improvement questions to the friendly faces Dawes Hardware Store, which has a more local feel than traditional big box stores. About 15 miles south via Bellingrath Road is Bellingrath Gardens and Home, a 65-acre public garden and historic home located on the Fowl River. Magic Christmas in Lights hosted at the estate each year is considered one of the best garden holiday light displays in the country.

Muddy Creek Wetlands
An active, outdoor lifestyle is what brings a lot of residents to South Alabama. “I wouldn’t say it was rural or country here, but residents appreciate the quiet and the fresh air,” Hamilton says. There are no classic community parks in Jackson Creek, but it is within driving distance of the coast and protected wetlands. About 10 miles south via McDonald and Half Mile roads is the Muddy Creek Wetlands Management Area, which consists of 200 acres of restored wetlands. The national award-winning mitigation project features a two-mile trail that winds through several distinct bird habitats and leads to a long boardwalk over Muddy Creek. Eventually the trail spills out to a large beaver impoundment where many local species of bird are often spotted.
Getting around town
Bordered by McDonald Road to the east and Old Pascagoula Road to the south, the Jackson Creek neighborhood is quiet with mostly local, residential roads. The I-10 interchange is just one mile south on McDonald Road, which runs through Mobile and eventually links up with Tallahassee to the east and New Orleans to the west. Old Pascagoula Road is also known as Alabama State Route 28, which eventually intersects with U.S. Route 90, and goes north to Mobile and south to New Orleans, only a two-hour drive from Jackson Creek.
