It’s a nice friendly place it’s very clean
A great christian community. Mobile Bay Area is a super place to live. 2 Regional airports and 1 International; airport with 1 hour of each other!! Lots of recreation and events for seniors !!!!
I love living here…. I has more of a small town homie feel then Mobile…. Everything I could need is only few minutes ride from my home so I’m not on the road all day…. The people here are always so nice and friendly….. The school systems here seem to above average and promote a community atmosphere for the children…. I’ve lived all over the place growing up and Daphne is the best place to settle down in…..
