Dawes has always been a cute area, even as far back as when I went to Baker in the 80s, and yes, I know that dates me! However, nearly five years ago I moved to the nice quiet subdivision of Oak Forest off of Dawes Road in West Mobile and I could not be happier. Though the portion I live in is technically a patio home, mainly because of the stature of the backyard, it is still a nice size and cute. I tell my hubby all of the time that our house is very much like the old-fashioned "shotgun" houses from generations ago - this is due to the front-to-back layout of the house. But...then I got to thinking one day I would actually like to do some updates to the house and make it very "rustic" and give it the charm of an actual shotgun house. Doing this would make it so it wasn't updated in the style of every other house in West Mobile. I tend to like Craftsman-type houses anyway, so I think that would give our little patio home a much-needed boost. Y'all come and look at the subdivisions off Dawes Road! I am sure you will also find one that you can make into your favorite style!
