About the area

Historic Railroad DistrictWalkable Dining HubSmall-Town CharmCraft Beverage Scene

Downtown Opelika centers on a restored historic railroad core filled with craft breweries, distilleries, boutique retail, and celebrated dining. It provides a relaxed, community-oriented cultural hub distinct from neighboring college-dominated Auburn.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
