Empty subdivision in south Baldwin a sign of the times - al.com

Empty subdivision in south Baldwin a sign of the times - al.com: "GULF SHORES — Marked by a stone sign at its entrance along Baldwin County 6, Andhurst Walk was pitched three years ago as one of the area's finest addresses, with some of the largest lots in town.

Today, the 114-lot subdivision set among thick woods has streetlamps, sidewalks, and cul-de-sacs but boasts only one house: A 3,000-square-foot, brick custom home that Chuck and Sheila Engle built in 2007.

A sign near the subdivision's entrance reads, 'Secluded living from the 190s.'"
