Rural charm and a small-town feel in Outer Saraland
Outer Saraland is exactly what it sounds like—a community that sits on the outskirts of Saraland. Residents enjoy extra seclusion, privacy and life amid a scenic rural setting while still benefiting from Saraland’s great schools, beautiful homes and lush landscaping. “There is definitely a rural feel to that area,” says Beth Abbott, a Realtor with Power Real Estate. “It’s a great area for people who want the small town feel and plenty of space.” Saraland got its name from retired pastor turned editor C.J. DeWitt, who moved to the area in 1890 and opened the city’s first post office along the southern railroad. He named the area after his wife Sara, a grand romantic gesture that would withstand the test of time.
