Bell Aire
Suburban Neighborhood in Theodore, Alabama
Mobile County 36582
Cottages and ranch-style homes
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.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
