Tillmans Corner, AL

55 Apartments for Rent

Tillmans or Tillman's? While most references list it as Tillmans, it is believed that the community's name might have originally had an apostrophe in it, but since mapmakers usually omit apostrophes, that little punctuation mark was dropped many years ago.

Tillmans Corner is not really a town, but rather an unincorporated area officially called a census designated place. Located in Mobile County, AL, Tillmans Corner is considered part of the Mobile metro area. With a population of 17,398 in the 2010 census, it's more accurate to call Tillmans Corner a suburb of Mobile.

Moving to Tillmans Corner

Most homes here are owned, not rented, so while finding home rentals isn't impossible, it will be challenging. As a suburb of Mobile, this area is definitely predominantly residential, so you won't score any downtown city apartments in Tillmans Corner, but finding a house for rent is a safe bet. Because the area is so close to Mobile and its beaches, property rates -- including rental prices -- tend to be a little higher than the rest of Alabama. Don't let this discourage you, however. The flip side of this is that a lot of property is vacation rentals, so if you move at the right time during what is considered the off-season (fall/winter), or you're willing to consider a month-to-month lease, not only can you score a prime rental property, but you might be pleasantly surprised by the rental price.

When you begin your real estate search, be prepared to be flexible about the type of dwelling you choose. While you will certainly see homes and apartments, you will also find rental condos, mobile homes and townhouses for rent.
