I never see Mobile on one of those.
Mobile is an odd place to me, it does have its "oases" of nice areas but they are surrounded by either depressingly ghetto and/or sleazy looking areas. Both are common to a lot of cities but it just seems that you have to traverse a whole lot of of sketchy areas to get from one "decent" area to another.

Mobile's fine. It's cliquey. Midtown and Spring Hill areas are nice, but given the crime and demographics, I'd still opt for Fairhope, Daphne or Spanish Fort.
The best thing about Mobile is the bay and its quick proximity to Daulphin Island, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Ono Island, and so on.

Lived there most of my life. That’s a good way to describe it

Mobile's suburbs lack character, development, and charm. They are very cookie cutter bland typical American suburbs without much to do. For active to somewhat active people without kids or older kids ... it's a tough sale to move out there.
I would take my chances on the city in hopes of things will get better. Like I stated earlier. There's a big push in popular American cities (Mobile is one) to push the riff raff outside the city by raising prices ... I'll put my money on that.
