Mertz Home for Rent

Mertz is a residential suburb in Mobile, Alabama that emphasizes a slower pace compared to the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. Small single-family cottages and mid-century ranch-style homes have brick and vinyl exteriors and were primarily built in the 1980s. Many yards feature hedges and tall oak trees. The McGowin Park strip mall serves as a local retail hub with stores like Costco and Dick’s Sporting Goods, and fast-food franchises include Five Guys and Starbucks. Blues Tavern serves beer and Bloody Mary cocktails and hosts live blues and rock and roll shows. Residents can practice their swings on the driving range at Topgolf, while Heron Lakes Country Club has an 18-hole semi-private golf course. The USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park showcases former submarines and warships, and the Bragg-Mitchell Mansion is a historic Greek Revival structure from the 1850s. Interstate 10 offers convenient travel to the Mobile Infirmary and the Mobile International Airport, and the Wave Transit System provides public transportation around town. Students are zoned for the Mobile County Public Schools system and go to Morningside Elementary and Williamson High School, which has student clubs for photography, robotics and Scholars Bowl.
