My wife and I are considering moving to the Mobile area in a couple of years. We don't have kids, so schools aren't an option. We are looking to rent at first, then buy a home. I am in the criminal justice field, and my wife is in the assisted living field.

I have several questions.

What are the areas to stay away from?

What is Bay Minette like? What about Saraland or Creola?

How does the Mobile area compare to the Memphis, TN area? (rent, utilities, insurance, cost of living, crime, etc)

I know Mobile is hot in the summer...Memphis is also hot! We get maybe 2 weeks of Spring/Fall. The winters are mild here, but we do have some cold spells. What are the season changes like in Mobile? Do the leaves turn colors in the fall?

Any advice/info would be helpful.

Cost of living in Mobile is relatively cheap compared to other cities.Mobile is a evergreen city we barely have Fall foliage.The Average winter temps in Mobile is around 62.In My Opinion the seasons in Mobile vary from year to year you really never know what to expect.One year we may have Summer ,5 weeks of Fall,A very mild and brief Winter,and then Spring.And the next year we may not have Fall, at all sometimes Fall could feel and look like Spring
