And despite a pandemic and an active hurricane season, they show that we along the Gulf Coast have many reasons to be thankful.

April 2021 Alabama Gulf Coast real estate stats
Alabama's Gulf Coast contains several real estate markets depending on location and price point – just to name a few factors. The graphic below shows real estate statistics for April 2021, the latest month available.

Chances are when you think of downtown Fairhope, you think of the intersection of Fairhope Avenue and South Section Street. The Fairhope Clock, the Fairhope Pharmacy sign and the gorgeous flowers are iconic, no doubt.
We here along Alabama's Gulf Coast are lucky to have several iconic downtowns near us. Bu...
