We live the slow and easy life up here in North Alabama (for the most part), and WorldAtlas took notice, as its recently published “Alabama’s 7 Most Laid-Back Towns For 2025” list is dominated by North Alabama towns.
Take a look:
Who’s on the WorldAtlas list?
Four of the seven towns listed on the WorldAtlas list are right here in North Alabama, a list complied to include towns with a slower-moving lifestyle, plenty of outdoor opportunities, a small-town feel and a general lack of hustle-and-bustle.
As the article states, “Whether you want to hike the mountains of Mentone or tour antebellum mansions in Eufaula, these easy-going towns have a way of helping you breathe easy for a while.”
In no particular order, WorldAtlas listed these Alabama towns as the most laid back in the state:
- Tuscumbia
- Mentone
- Scottsboro
- Guntersville
- Monroeville
- Brewton
- Eufaula
“From lakeside hamlets to hidden towns tucked away in the mountains, the residents in these areas are never in a rush. It is where you can watch thousands of bats fill the sky at dusk in Scottsboro, or dine on an outdoor patio overlooking the water in Monroeville.”
