We just moved to Fairhope from California and absolutely love it! For the most part, it’s like minded common sense conservatives close to the bay and lots of shopping.  More

Not sure where they got the rents from. Maybe not updated as there is nowhere to rent in Boone. Unless a student and they are paying $1000+ for 1 bedroom/bath shared  More
