Introduction
About Fairhope, Alabama

Fairhope, Alabama is a charming small town recognized as one of the top retirement communities in America.  It is known for its distinctive display of the year round hanging flower baskets, corner bedding areas, and flowers boxes on the streets of the town.  The city beach and pier are popular stopping points for tourists as well as local residents. 

Fairhope is a unique city that was founded by settlers from Des Moines.  They purchased areas of land with the land held in common.  If you purchase a home on colony property you own a house, but you have a lease on the land.  Downtown Fairhope home prices vary considerably depending on the proximity to Mobile Bay.
