1 Reviews & Comments About Orange Beach
Crime seems low, housing prices are high since it is a beach town, many good restaurants.
I love that there are so many good restaurants and many are not too expensive, considering that this is a beach town. There are a variety of places to stay right on the beach whether you prefer a hotel or a condo experience. There is also nearby shopping at an outlet mall. This is more of a beach town for the settled crowd rather than the younger group.
