Where it is

The adopted plan (PDF) defines Toulminville by Three Mile Creek on the south, Mobile Street and Prichard Avenue on the northwest, and Toulmins Spring Branch and the Mobile-Prichard city limits on the north. The plan counted 10,679 residents in the 2020 census.

For the figures on this page we used the area OpenStreetMap maps and names Toulminville. On Oct. 17, 2026, the city’s data held 4,811 address points in it: 99% in ZIP code 36617 and 1% in 36610. All are inside city limits, so the City of Mobile provides police, fire and garbage service. The streets with the most addresses include Summerville Street, Donald Street, St. Stephens Road, Osage Street, Wellington Street and Stanton Road.

The plan’s priorities include strategic infill and redevelopment of vacant and blighted properties, a connected community for people on foot, on bikes and in cars, and better parks and open spaces, and it points homeowners to city home repair grant programs. It was coordinated by the city with the district’s council member and community volunteers, and it was adopted in October 2023.

Schools

Shares are of a sample of 160 city address points across the area, each checked against the Mobile County Public Schools zone lookup on Oct. 17, 2026. Scores are each school’s overall score on the state’s 2024-25 report card.

LeFlore, Washington Middle and Holloway are all inside the area. LeFlore is a district magnet high school that also serves this attendance zone, according to the zone lookup. Check one address with the district’s school search. More in our schools guide.

Parks and trails

The plan’s map of community facilities includes Michael Figures Park and Community Center, Henry Aaron Park, Tricentennial Park, the James T. Strickland Youth Center and the Three Mile Creek Greenway. Michael Figures Park and Henry Aaron Park are mapped as parks inside the area in OpenStreetMap; McLean Park, 320 Park Ave., is just outside it.

The greenway, the city’s planned 6.5-mile linear park along Three Mile Creek, runs along the neighborhood’s southern edge. The plan said the city had funding to extend it from MLK to Bush Park by 2025; for its current status see the city’s greenway page and our parks and trails guide.

Groceries and everyday stores

The plan says most residents live more than a mile from the neighborhood’s one grocery store, in the Saint Stephens Square shopping center. OpenStreetMap maps a Piggly Wiggly on St. Stephens Road and a CVS Pharmacy on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue just outside the area it names. The Toulminville Branch Library, 601 Stanton Road, is inside it.

Homeowners associations

The City of Mobile does not publish a homeowners association registry, and the neighborhood plan does not name one.
