Southwest of Mobile, Bell Aire is mostly composed of undeveloped land and residential streets dense with vegetation. The area has many spacious lots available for quiet and peaceful acreage. In the developed parts, tall trees and bushes decorate large yards. The extra space also allows the homes to come with driveways and attached garages, although the area is not walkable. The houses tend to be on the smaller side: mostly ranch-style houses along with cottages and bungalows. Sales prices range from $24,000 for a vinyl cottage to $232,000 for a bungalow with a wide front porch and intricate columns. “It’s an affordable area compared to the national average and the west side of Mobile,” says Realtor Jennifer Ballard who has 14 years of experience in the area and works with Bellator Real Estate & Development.
