Fairhope Selected Among The 50 Best Small Southern Towns


FAIRHOPE, AL, January 15, 2008 - - The trend of city dwellers giving up life in the fast lane for a simpler life in small cities has continued to grow in the six years since the first edition of The 50 Best Small Southern Towns (Peachtree Publishers). Now there is a second edition with updated information of Southeastern cities featuring the city of Fairhope, once again.

The guide takes in account overall increases in the cost of living, recent changes in the housing market and the effect of changing economic conditions. According the authors Gerald Sweitzer and Kathy Fields, people are choosing the South over other regions of the country because of its:
• Lower Cost of Living
• Slower Pace
• Friendlier Style
• More Favorable Climate
• Strong Economy

The criteria used to select these towns were: a population under 25,000, positive population growth, readily available cultural and recreational attractions, adult education opportunities, healthcare options and high speed Internet access.
