Top 5 Reasons to Live in Foley, AL

Foley is a hidden oasis tucked away off of Mobile Bay, located at the very bottom of lower Alabama at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico. This city is home to many family centered, free spirits who are always looking for an afternoon or weekend adventure. If you’re considering making a move, here are five reasons why you should consider Foley as your next home.

Location, Location, Location

You hear it on HGTV all the time, location is everything when it comes to buying or renting a home. In Foley, there is something to offer in each area of the city. If you are looking for a beach getaway, South Pointe Apartments and Homes is a quick 10 minute drive away from the sandy shores of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Close enough to enjoy the coastal life but also far enough away to avoid the tourist hustle and bustle.

Lamberts

If you’re from the South, chances are you have heard of this restaurant which is home to the famous “throwed rolls”. This Foley staple is home to hundreds of visitors throughout the year, creating wait times which can reach up to three hours on a busy beach weekend! Foley locals are able to take advantage of being in close proximity to this home-style cooking known for generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere. 

OWA

OWA, which means big water, is a five hundred and twenty acre amusement park, home to twenty-three thrill rides, unique restaurants and entertainment galore! This hidden gem is located along the Foley Beach Express and is the perfect stop for beach visitors and locals. Not only does OWA have thrills for the adventure seeker, they also have a gaming center, live music and shopping and dining experiences for anyone looking for a fun Friday activity. Fun fact, you can also view the OWA fireworks right from our community. 

Water Life

Weekends in Foley are all about boat life. Owning a fishing pole or boat is a must for many of the Foley locals. Starting Friday afternoon, the Bay and surrounding rivers begin to fill with fishermen, tours and kayaking adventurers. If you’re looking for a fun weekend getaway, Gulf Shores is a popular destination with famous getaways like Hangout Restaurant and the Track. South Pointe Apartments and Homes also offers residents the rare amenity of boat storage. 

Wildlife

Along with the amazing views provided by the Bay, the wildlife living in the surrounding areas is an attraction for tourists throughout the year. The Delta, located at the top of the bay, is one of the most biodiverse areas in the nation with both freshwater and saltwater marine life living amongst each other. Animal viewing businesses have begun to pop up throughout the lower Alabama area including WildNative Tours, Alligator Alley and the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo.
