"Spanish Fort, Alabama Is On The Move According to Certified Residential FHA Appraisers!"

Spanish Fort, Alabama continues to grow with new residential developments while maintaining its historic Southern charm. Its local people bustle from place to place, store to store, and eager to share a story, or two.


Spanish Fort is growing towards future prominence as "the major" town within Baldwin County, part of the Eastern Shore, and located only minutes from downtown Mobile by traveling west on I-10, across the "Bay-Way."


Spanish Fort has several newer residential developments, such as, "Garrison Ridge," about two years old. Most of the homes within "Garrison Ridge" have gross living areas between 3,213 square feet and 3,703 square feet, three bathrooms and four bedrooms according to online records. Building lots within this development will primarily range from $62,500 to $69,900.


"Garrison Ridge" is located about 1/2 mile north of U. S. Highway 31 and along the western side of Highway 225, near Spanish Fort's town center. "Garrison Ridge" sits on an area which once was the center of the Union lines during the Battle of Spanish Fort and one of the final battles of the American Civil War in the Spring of 1865. Before the development could begin, a team of archaeologists from the University of South Alabama spent time salvaging for information from the 57+- acre site.


The Certified Residential FHA Appraisers within Baldwin County also suggest checking into these other Spanish Fort subdivisions: Bromley Oaks, Cambron, Churchill, Delta Woods, The Hammock At Blakeley, Saluda Ridge, Spanish Fort Estates, Stillwater, Stonebrook, Tanager, Westminster Gates, Whisper Woods, and Wilkins Creek Estates.
