1 Bedroom Apartments for Rent in Fairhope, AL

"Fairhope is home to more published authors per capita than any place else in the country. At one point not many years back, three local writers were on the New York Times bestsellers' list at the same time: WEB Griffin, Winston Groom and Jimmy Buffett. One author suggested we have a billboard at the edge of town to declare 'Fairhope, Alabama, the home of more writers than readers!'" --Sonny Brewer, Fairhope author

Witty writers who can laugh off Alabama stereotypes make life in Fairhope a Southern sensation. When a city feels secure enough in its natural beauty and reputation that it has a website named Beautiful Fairhope, you know that city is bold, confident and gorgeous, basically the supermodel equivalent of an American city. Mobile Bay is the main factor in the community and its lifestyle. Water activities are prevalent, vacationing tourists stop by, and even land-loving sports enthusiasts get bay views at parks and trails along the water's edge. The warm climate makes Fairhope a favorite winter spot for those escaping the drudgery of snow shoveling and thermal underwear, and has especially enticed artists and writers over the years.

Real estate prices here may be at the very high end of the Alabama property spectrum, but only slightly above average when compared nationally
