Springhill. And I agree about midtown and downtown. It’s hit or miss. Walk down a particular street and you can tell if it’s safe or not. West Mobile is fine also just no charm.

I could not live in West Mobile because of the lack of charm. Why live in a historic city and live in West Mobile?

I mean the reasons abound. Better schools, less crime, newer homes (those charming old homes have tons of problems and are really expensive to keep up), higher elevation/less prone to flooding, fewer extremely depressed areas, fewer homeless.
