Baldwin County
Point Clear, AL Real Estate
Point Clear pairs Eastern Shore charm with grand estates, historic hospitality, and life along Mobile Bay.
About Point Clear
Point Clear sits on Mobile Bay's Eastern Shore in Baldwin County, long known for its historic Grand Hotel Marriott Resort Golf Club & Spa, a Southern landmark dating to the 1800s. The community's housing stock ranges from antebellum-style estates and classic coastal cottages to newer waterfront custom homes, many shaded by mature live oaks and azaleas. Loyola Villa is among the recognizable residential pockets here, offering a quieter, established feel within reach of the bay. Point Clear draws buyers seeking privacy and legacy properties rather than dense development, including retirees, second-home owners, and families with ties to nearby Fairhope and Daphne. Its position along the Eastern Shore, minutes from Spanish Fort and a manageable drive to Mobile, keeps it connected while preserving a low-key, historic residential character distinct from the busier Gulf-front markets of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.
