Overlook Homes for Rent

Overlook, a quiet suburb nine miles west of downtown Mobile, offers a mix of recreational and cultural amenities. Residents enjoy abundant exercise opportunities with tennis courts, the Azalea City Golf Course, and walking trails at Langan Park and the University of South Alabama (USA). The neighborhood features a variety of home styles, including mid-century ranches, Greek-Revival homes, brick Colonials, and split-levels, many with side-gabled roofs and small covered porches. Subdivisions like Alpine Park, Alpine Hills, and Ridgewood Acres are known for their tree-lined streets and inviting sidewalks. Overlook is home to the Glenn Sebastian Nature Trail, which winds through 95 acres of woodlands, and the Mobile Museum of Art, which features a Sculpture Trail. The Mobile Tennis Center, with its 60 lighted hard courts, hosts various leagues and clinics. Dining options include Via Emilia, a popular Northern Italian restaurant, and Soul Caffeine, a coffee shop in Midtown frequented by USA students and professors. The neighborhood is served by WAVE transit bus routes 4 and 18, though a car is recommended for daily commuting. Local events like Market in the Park and Movies in the Park add to the community's charm.
