Daphne is a small, Southern, charming suburb of Mobile – one of Alabama’s biggest cities. It’s nestled between coast and hills, so its scenery is beautiful – though don’t expect any particularly good hiking here, since no part of the town exceeds 150 feet above sea level. There are about 20,000 people living in Daphne, and most of them are families, who have opted to live the quiet suburban life rather than the more hectic life of Mobile (though it’s hard to call Mobile-living “city-living,” since it’s a pretty small country town itself). If you’re looking for somewhere to move where you’ll know all your neighbors and not be able to go to the grocery store without having to say hi at to at least 3 people you know – Daphne’s the place for you. It’s friendly, family-oriented, safe and very affordable, compared to the rest of the country.

Moving to Daphne

If you want to move to Daphne, there are some things you should prepare off the bat in case you find a home you like. Gather the appropriate documents you’ll need to apply for an apartment, like your ID, tax returns, bank statement, proof of employment, references from former landlords, and enough money for security deposits and broker’s fees.

If you’re looking for a single-family home in Daphne you’ll be in luck, since the town is dominated by them – nearly 70 percent of homes there are single family homes. There are, however, nearly 25 percent rental places in the town, so there is a good selection of places if you’re not ready to put down roots. Rent is way below the national average here, so it’s a good spot to choose if you are looking to save a little money.
