Why Summerdale?

Just 30 minutes north of the Orange Beach/Gulf Shores Beaches, Summerdale is the gateway to the south’s most popular tourist area. With the only two major highways leading south, Summerdale offers the only access to the beaches. Traffic Counts are more than 60,000 vehicles per day, during peak season.

With over 50,000 residents within Summerdale’s trade market area, Summerdale is a prime location for both business and residents. Low unemployment rates and cost of living means more disposable income for these residents to enjoy shopping, dining out, and entertainment!

Summerdale is projected to grow over 60% in the next 10 years. We fully expect to move from a “Town” status to a “City” within the next 3 years.  With this projected growth, Summerdale officials are pro-active. They are continually working and planning to improve our pro-business environment. Summerdale is a virtual blank canvas for future development. With over 2500 acres of highway frontage property available, it is a corridor of opportunity and a prime location for massive growth in the retail sector.  Summerdale is right where you want to grow.
