Hey guys, I figured I would post this here and maybe get some real input from people who have been.
For my job, they are requiring me to move to the Gulf Coast. This job requires a lot of travel so where I live is basically up to me. They said they wanted me somewhere between Biloxi and Pensacola.
Not I have never been to this area besides going to Pensacola for a family vacation when I was in middle school. I was wondering if anyone here could give me some suggestions on where would be a good spot for me.
I am a young professional so I would prefer to be around other young professionals and a nightlife. Traveling most of Mississippi, Alabama, and the panhandle of Florida with some south Georgia on occasion.
I know a lot of people have said Mobile but I was wondering where I should be looking for apartments, or if there is another area around there that would be worth looking into. Is Biloxi a decent town for young people?
My fear is I end up living in an apartment complex either full of families or old retired people.
Thanks in advance for the help!

I suggest selling your family for drugs.

Mobile has a pretty decent night scene downtown. If you are a young professional looking for an apartment De Iberville apartments on Springhill avenue would maybe be a good fit. LINK Mostly young professionals, newly weds, or medical school students with some retirees thrown in. Its close to downtown as well. I lived there after college and my wife and I lived there for about a year after we were married.

All terrible options. Somewhere around Mobile I guess though.

Not really a young professionals scene. That is more families.

It's not like Mobile is an hour's drive from Baldwin Co.

Rent a house in midtown, imo. Baldwin county (daphne, fairhope, Spanish fort) is nice, but is absolutely geared more for families. Come down for a weekend and check out the area. It might be worth the hour drive to Pensacola to get a feel for it as well. Downtown p'cola has been updated a lot lately and is a blast, but I have no clue on housing there

Perdido Key and become a Florabama groupie.

What kind of position is this?

Biloxi will suck for a young person unless you are really into casinos. Downtown Pensacola may be a pleasant surprise but Mobile will definitely have the most options for you. Downtown Mobile is having a mini Renaissance. Nice bar district now and art community. You get pretty good music at Soul Kitchen, Alchemy Tavern, O'Daly's and some other spots. The Saenger theater gets some national tours. Mobile is centrally located for the region as well if you are travelling. I would recommend looking at Mobile first.

Rent that UFO house on Pensacola Beach.

If you're a young professional, mid town mobile is cool. Bars don't have to close, so no legally mandated last call. Mobile also has a great Mardi Gras. It's not Nola, but way better than Metairie.
Mobile also has a very low cost of living. My cousin bought a really cool 100+ year of house, that was fully renovated, for $180k. The same place in Nola would be $400-500k.
