Moving to Chickasaw

Renting in Chickasaw is no different than renting anywhere in the state, or the country for that matter. The most important thing is to have all your paperwork in order. A prepared renter should have a photo ID, proof of income, rental history, references, bank statements, a credit report ready to show the landlord when they've found a place. Don't forget to bring a blank check so that you can also hand over the deposit to show you're dead serious -- money talks, and it's no different in Chickasaw.

When all's said and done, there are many beautiful properties for rent around the town. To help you get a rental property that perfectly suits your preferences, make use of a good online apartment locator. This locator makes things so much easier to look for studio apartments for rent or any other housing type for that matter. So, don't just sit there looking like a confused or surprised deer caught in the headlights; make use of the locator tool to help you out.

Neighborhoods in Chickasaw

Chickasaw is a small town, so you can't really be surprised when we tell you there aren't any neighborhoods here. You'll find most of the shops and restaurant on the east side of town, along Route 43/N Craft Highway, which means you'll want to find yourself a home in this area to be close to all the amenities. The west side of town has its perks too, like the John Dotson park.

Living in Chickasaw

Don't go thinking that because Chickasaw is a small town, you won't have anything to do. Au contraire, my friend. If it's history you're looking for, you have the Museum of Mobile, USS Alabama Battleship, Richards-DAR House Museum and the Bragg-Mitchell mansion, a wonderfully restored home that was built around 1855.

For fun a little closer to town, there's the aforementioned John Dotson Park, Paul Levine Park, Chickasaw Recreation and Mauvilla Park.
