Once a quaint fishing village, Orange Beach, Alabama is now a top tourist destination with 6,000 residents. But the roots haven’t been forgotten, and those who live here today enjoy a unique quality of life that they cherish.

Almost 9% of the city’s 11.4 square miles is water, so it’s no wonder many of the homes are located on or near a shoreline.

The guarded entrance of Ono Island, a long strip of land located just north of Perdido Key, Florida, ensures privacy for residents of the 900 waterfront and interior homes.

The Village of Tannin, a planned New Urban community, promotes neighborhood strolls and friendly conversations. With its narrow brick streets, wide porches, and buildings set close to the streets, residents and visitors enjoy the nostalgic feel of a simpler, more relaxed era.

Orange Beach boasts modern subdivisions, well-established neighborhoods, beach mansions and waterfront homes with boathouses, and adorable inland cottages to suit all tastes and budgets.
