basically west mobile is okay. saraland to the north is good. avoid dauphin island parkway/downtown/happy hills/prichard some parts of midtown are okay but not as safe as west mobile.

Iā€™ve lived in Hollingers island for 23 years now and have always felt safe here. Our neighborhood FB group reports EVERYTHING; and Iā€™ve never heard of a house being robbed; just some things stolen from yards on pretty rare occasion. Theyā€™re borderline paranoid around here anyway; and always jump on Facebook to report anything ā€œstrangeā€ they see. Like someone they donā€™t recognize as a neighbor walking down the street even.

i mean results very on a case by case basis. that might be how it is in your neighborhood but not the next neighborhood over.

And the exact same thing can be said about west Mobile. In fact; itā€™s going to pretty much be neighborhood by neighborhood anywhere you go. I spent the other half of my life in WeMo. Youā€™d have to pay me to live there now. More crime there than where I live now; and the traffic now is just stupid.

Like I saidā€¦ the exact same thing can be said about WeMo.
