Orange Beach Condos: A Complete Guide by Complex and Year Built

When you’re shopping for a condo in Orange Beach—whether as a second home, investment, or full-time retreat—understanding the history and construction era of each complex matters. Certain buildings have become iconic over time, while others offer the latest in modern construction and amenities. Below, I’ve compiled a snapshot of notable condo complexes in Orange Beach, organized alphabetically with the year they were built.

This is the kind of information I share with clients who want to buy smart—and enjoy the lifestyle the Gulf Coast offers.
