A spirited community near employers and the outdoors alike
Rothfield offers residents the community spirit of a small-town and the recreational opportunities of the countryside. Downtown Semmes is packed with events like the Camellia Festival, while just to the west, residents will find serene Big Creek Lake, ideal for refreshing fishing trips. Location is another huge part of Rothfield’s appeal, major thoroughfares linking residents to various employers. “If you work at a factory in north Mobile County or at schools like the University of South Alabama, this is a great location,” says Bill Hinton, Associate Broker with Roberts Brothers who has been selling homes in Mobile County for 36 years. “It’s close to Mississippi, too, which is only about 10 miles down the road.” Homes tend to sell around $170,000.

Rothfield is comprised of a few smaller subdivisions
Rothfield can be broken down into a few subdivisions with varying home prices, Ponderosa being one of the bigger ones. “In Ponderosa, your top-end price is around $220,000,” Hinton says. “But an average home in good shape is about $170,000.” In the Petaluma subdivision off Snow Road North, the average price runs closer to $150,000. Rothfield’s various three-bedroom homes tend to follow American Craftsman and ranch-style designs, with the occasional Cape Cod home. Streets aren’t quite wide enough for parking, but paved and gravel driveways are spacious enough to accommodate multiple cars. Lots are spacious, usually spanning above a third of an acre, but it’s not uncommon to see parcels one acre in size or larger.
Every corner of Rothfield tells a story of warmth and community pride.
Rothfield is where small-town charm meets big-hearted neighbors.

Rothfield is just next to the airport
Though the Mobile Regional Airport is just south of the neighborhood, most residents don’t mind the noise and, if anything, enjoy the convenience. No major interstates or highways pass through Rothfield, with Tanner Williams Road, Snow Road North and Howells Ferry Road being the primary thoroughfares. Taking Tanner Williams Road, it’s a 15-minute drive to the University of South Alabama and a 30-minute drive to downtown Mobile.

Rothfield locals never go hungry
A few casual restaurants can be found in downtown Semmes, but as Hinton says, “You gotta go into Mobile if you want to eat fancy.” When residents are feeling extra hungry, they can order a 28-inch New York-style pizza pie from the Semmes House of Pizza. And if they still somehow have room in their stomach, they can try the Boss Hawg challenge at Hickory Pit Too, a 20-ounce hamburger topped with 6 ounces of pulled pork and additional toppings. Customers who somehow complete this massive meal earn a free T-shirt. And this barbecue restaurant has plenty more on the menu too, from popcorn shrimp po-boys to Mexican baked potatoes. A Winn-Dixie can be found in downtown Semmes and right off Zeigler Boulevard, near other stores like Dollar General and Tractor Supply Co.

A splash pad and golf courses
Kids beat the heat at the Semmes Municipal Park and Splash Pad. The park also offers a playground, an outdoor gym, a fishing pond for anglers and “The Admiral,” a championship disc golf course designed by John Houck, whose course design skills are frequently ranked the best in the world by disc golfers. Golf World Magazine readers recently voted Magnolia Grove one of best 50 public golf courses, but Rothfield residents will have to play a round to see for themselves. Golf courses offered at Magnolia Grove include the par-3 Short Course and the par-71 Falls.
