Venetia Home for Rent

Venetia, a neighborhood in Mobile, offers a rural, riverside ambiance while being just minutes from downtown Mobile. Dog River Park is a central feature, providing a boat launch, fishing spots, walking trails, and picnic areas. Nearby, PFC Howard Johnson II Park hosts Little League games and has walking paths and playgrounds, while the Mobile County Soccer Complex caters to soccer enthusiasts. The neighborhood is suburban with national chains for groceries and dining, including Piggly Wiggly, Walmart, and Fresh Market. Dining options include Judy’s Place, known for its rock and roll decor and burgers, and Hart’s Fried Chicken for a classic fried chicken meal. Venetia is primarily composed of ranch-style homes, some built on pillar foundations to mitigate flooding risks due to its location on the Dog River and the Gulf Coast. Homes are situated on quiet, narrow roads or near Interstate 10, with long driveways to reduce traffic noise. The area is not very walkable, and residents typically rely on cars for commuting, with I-10 providing quick access to surrounding cities like Pensacola and New Orleans. The neighborhood is 8 miles from downtown Mobile, 4 miles from Brookley Field and Mobile International Airport, and 6 miles from USA Health University Hospital. While Venetia's schools, part of the Mobile County Public School System, have average ratings, they offer specialty programs to help students pursue various careers.
