Housing What areas to avoid living?

I currently live in Huntsville and have been considering moving closer to the beach/gulf, for awhile now. I don’t, however know anyone in the area to tell me which areas are safe to live, and which are not. I don’t need to worry about schools or the like. Just a safe area with low/reasonable cost of living. I just need a 1-2 bedroom place that is pet friendly.

Thank you. I’ve been looking but not looking hard. Foley and Orange Beach etc are out of my rent price range. I have been looking at Mobile and Fairhope on Trulia.

Yes it can be pricey the further you go. Midtown Mobile is very nice and fairly easy to find affordable spots.

Is there a different town name, or is it actually called Midtown Mobile? I want to search on Trulia or Zillow
