A tranquil suburban enclave between Mobile and the Gulf

Suburb Commuter Interstate Coastal

Theodore is a low-key suburban community located about twenty minutes south of Downtown Mobile on I-10. The area is best known among locals as the home of Bellingrath Gardens, a historic 900-acre estate that features some of the most beautiful botanical displays in the South. The community is almost entirely composed of residential neighborhoods, with a few small shops and restaurants along Government Boulevard and a more extensive retail district just north of town in Tillman’s Corner. The beaches of Dauphin Island are only a few minutes to the south, and both Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico offer great opportunities for boating and fishing.
