Foley Alabama
A Cross Roads For South Baldwin County
Located less than a thirty-minute drive from Fairhope to the west, Lillian, FL to the east and the white sandy beaches of Gulf Shore and Orange Beach to the south and Interstate 10 to the North Foley offers fantastic opportunities for investors, vacationers or just a fun place to live.
Currently the fastest growing area in Alabama, Foley is both, a great place to retire and start a family. Home to top notch entertainment, world renowned shopping, fantastic restaurants, outdoor attractions, tons of new development, some of the best sports facilities on the Gulf Coast and a family friendly laid-back lifestyle, it has something for everyone. Oh, and how can I forget, it has a brand-new amusement park, OWA, that is the only of its kind for over 100 miles. It attracts visitors from all over the Gulf Coast area with its nightly live shows, top restaurants and shops and the obvious attached amusement park. It is also expanding to add a water park in 2021. OWA’s investment in the community has and will continue to transform Foley into a gem on the Gulf!
Let me highlight a few things that I feel make Foley one of the more unique living and investment opportunities in the state.
If you like to shop, get in line. Literally, get in line at the Tanger Outlets, because there is never a day that this retail destination isn’t packed with bargain hunters and savvy shoppers. With national chains like Michael Kors, Kate Spade New York, Banana Republic, Nike and Under Armour, you will find your inner shopper.
If outlet shopping isn’t your thing, try the smaller boutique shops of historic downtown Foley. If you like small town charm, you’ll love it. And, for a real treat, stop in at Stacey’s Old Tyme Soda Fountain. Its like stepping back to a much simpler time, circa, not 2020!
Hungry? Well, you want have to eat at the same place twice anytime soon if Foley’s over 100 restaurants have anything to say about it. And let me tell you, South Baldwin people know how to eat well. Places like the Groovy Goat, The Mellow Mushroom or my personal favorite Jessie’s will turn your tastebuds upside down. And you might even get some food thrown at you. Lambert’s Café, Home of Throwed Rolls. By far the most unique restaurant I have ever seen. They pass around free eats and throw some rolls your way. The food here is really fantastic and unique. You won’t be disappointed.
Sports enthusiast? If you are, then the Foley Sports Complex offers something for everyone. Beautifully manicured fields give way to athletes in soccer, baseball, softball, lacrosse and football every weekend. If indoor action is more your speed, then you will not believe the quality of and the beauty of the Foley Event Center, where 90,000 of multi-use space gives way to basketball, volleyball and gymnastics.
Not only do local athletes get to utilize the best facilities in Baldwin County, Foley Sports Tourism brings in college athletes to use them as well. The Foley Sports Complex is the proud home to the Sun Belt Women’s Volleyball and Soccer championships.
Like a good festival? When was the last time you sat back in your lawn chair and staired up at 50 giant and colorful hot air balloons? Never? Well, maybe you should check out the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival, held each August. This one-of-a-kind event is something that locals just can’t get enough of and when you see it, you’ll be hooked. It’s definitely one of the things that makes this little town a big place.
Maybe the Foley BBQ and Blues Festival is a little more your style. No real need for an explanation, the name says it all!
If you like to be entertained, then Foley offers that too. Owa provides shows that cover everything from magicians to impersonators, but it is all guaranteed fun. It’s not Vegas, but don’t tell the performers, because they’re just as good. If doing the two step is your style, then you may want to mosey over to the Alabama Gulf Coast Music Hall or just get in your car for a short trip to the beach where entertainment comes in “waves”. Bottom line, Foley brings the entertainment and you will never be bored.
Well, since you are on a real estate website, you might need a place to live. You’re in luck. The growth Foley has experienced has driven new subdivisions that cover all buyers, from new homeowners to retirees and everything in between. And if you want to sprawl out, there is plenty of land surrounding Foley for building and for development. Or you can just settle down on a few acres in a home that someone has broken in for you. Either way, we have got you covered.
To wrap up my, way to simple observation of a great place, Foley is primed with opportunity. Whether you are looking for residential or commercial, retail or industrial, Foley’s got it and I know I can help you find the return you’re looking for.
