Summerdale, AL

Summerdale offers a quiet, small-town pace right in the heart of Baldwin County, sitting along Highway 59 between Robertsdale and Foley. It gives residents a relaxed home base while keeping the Gulf Coast beaches about thirty minutes south. The community gathers around Pioneer Park, a shaded downtown green space bordered by historic brick storefronts and the longtime Jurkiewicz Hardware store. It is an easygoing spot where neighbors cross paths along the brick walking trail or sit by the gazebo during community get-togethers.
