Washington Square, located between Government Street and Dauphin Street, is a historic and walkable Mobile neighborhood with a leafy central park and a strong downtown edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Washington Avenue at Dauphin Street, where courthouse-day foot traffic meets café patios and small storefronts. Brick sidewalks and restored townhomes sit alongside low-rise civic buildings, giving the blocks a formal, old-Mobile cadence. Washington Square Park frames the area with shade trees, benches, and a steady lunchtime rhythm. Nearby, the Saenger Theatre anchors the cultural calendar with touring shows and concerts. The Mobile Museum of Art and the History Museum of Mobile add gallery time and local context within a short drive.

Single-Family Residential Districts
These districts are composed of both developed and largely undeveloped areas. The developed areas contain mainly one-family dwellings and small open areas, usually subdivided, where residential development seems likely to occur; few two-family and multiple-family dwellings are found in these developed areas. It is anticipated that most of the large undeveloped areas will ultimately be developed for residential use. The district regulations are designed to protect the residential character of the developed areas by prohibiting commercial activities and encouraging a suitable neighborhood environment for family life.
