Dothan neighborhoods are as unique as the people who live in them. Each has a personality that becomes clear as your drive down each street.

One of the most popular Dothan neighborhoods is called the Garden District. Located in northwest Dothan, the Garden District is roughly bordered by West Main Street, North Park Avenue, Montgomery Highway, and Ross Clark Circle. Known far and wide for the annual Azalea Dogwood Trail in springtime, the beauty of this area is really unparalleled in Dothan. The explosion of color from the azaleas, dogwoods, and camellias, the unlimited shades of green on the lawns, and the elegance of the pastel colored antebellum gowns worn by the Trail Queen and her court set this neighborhood apart.

The Garden District is unique in that there are many architectural styles and home sizes within the neighborhood. Unlike many new subdivisions, where every house is in the traditional style and the vast majority have red brick exteriors, the Garden District offers homes of all shapes and sizes. Several homes on North Cherokee Avenue and Girard Avenue are quite large Colonial or Georgian style homes, while there are many cottage style smaller homes on North Orange Street and Choctaw Street on the eastern side of the neighborhood and even townhouses on Martha Avenue and North Roberta Avenue. You can see contemporary style homes, with their low roof lines and abstract facades, scattered throughout the area.

Many children who grew up in the Garden District enjoy moving back to the area to start their family. Solomon Park, where many played as children, is just a short stroll away. Girard Elementary and Middle Schools are also within walking distance, and many amenities, such as some of Dothan’s best restaurants and shopping, are a five or ten minute drive from the neighborhood.
