Foreign Direct Investment Magazinelisted Mobile as a leader in several categories:

Top 10 small cities of the future:  Ranked # 8 Mobile, AL

Small cities - best economic potential:  Ranked #2 Mobile, AL

Small cities - most business friendly:  Ranked #1 Mobile, AL

All these rankings raise the area's profile internationally with the business/industry site selection groups.

These comments along with the Antebellum/Creole/Mardi Gras charm of Mobile, the strategic location on a deep water port, access to plentiful supplies of energy and beautiful coastal playgrounds elevate the area to one on a longterm growth spurt.

 If you do not know Mobile and the region surrounding her then you are truly missing out.  Even with price appreciation in Mobile the values are like low hanging fruit.  And the buyers market along the Gulf Coast is expected to follow the trend of any beach front region and rebound sooner than later.
