Hello all,

My husband and I are relocating to Baldwin County hopefully in about one year and I was just wondering what everyone Pros and Cons are for living there?

We visited during Memorial Day Weekend and absolutely fell in love with it! Sure, its hot and humid most of the time, but I have dealt with that before, so I dont mind it too much! We would like to live around Foley, maybe Robertsdale. We looked at Fairhope and it was beautiful, but I think I would rather be closer to Foley.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I plan on moving from Florida to Alabama for two reasons....one, fewer strong hurricanes and, secondly, cost of living is less expensive. I am considering the Eufaula and Abbeville area on the Chattahoochee River.

It is more expensive around Fairhope to buy a house. I like Silverhill a quiet little town. Housing is going to cost more in Baldwin county since many people live there and go to Mobile to work. Foley is a nice town but really crowded during the summer especially on the weekends.
Magnolia Springs is pretty and right outside of Foley. You would have to go into Foley to shop but it isn't that far.
Close to the beach, means leaving during hurricanes. Will you going to have to work?

What are you looking for in a town

My husband and I will both have to work.... I am a paralegal so I would need a job at a law office and my husband is a CNA so we hope to maybe get him working at the hospital in Foley if they are hiring at the time!

We are looking for a more laid back town that is not too populated and that would be great for raising a family (we have only been married for a year and a half). We have always talked about moving to Baldwin County even before we got married and just never really did; maybe out of fear I guess because his family is here in Tennessee (I am from Mississippi, but my immediate family is here in Tennessee). It may seem silly, but since we have always wanted to move to Baldwin County, we do not want to look back in 10 years and wonder what it could have been like if we had just taken the chance and gone.
