A suburban atmosphere with mountain views close to the city
Over the past 20 years, Hampton Cove has developed from a cluster of rural backroads to one of the largest suburbs in Huntsville. Though not as quiet as it once was, this area retains its namesake cove-like atmosphere, surrounded by mountains and tucked away in the rolling terrain of the Cumberland Plateau. “People really love the mountain views,” says Leah Miller, Founder of the Miller Team and a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Huntsville who has lived in the city for 18 years. About 15 minutes from Downtown, residents of Hampton Cove get a scenic escape from the city without losing out on amenities. This area is home to highly rated schools, sweeping nature preserves, top-notch golf and new construction houses at varying price points.
Hampton Cove in eastern Huntsville has an abundance of things to do, especially outdoors.

A wide variety of new and established homes in a planned community
From fields to mountains to farmland, the houses in Hampton Cove vary almost as much as the terrain. “Most homes are no older than 25 years old, but there are a few that have been there longer,” says Miller. “They’re mostly single-family homes, though there are new apartments being built, and lots of new construction homes.” Two-story Colonial Revivals might line one street, while the next might be full of ranch-style new builds with a mix of brick and wood siding. A three-bedroom home can start at roughly $300,000, but closing prices for luxury estate-style houses can climb as high as $1 million. Across Hampton Cove, however, most homes have spacious lots with neatly trimmed lawns bordered by a strip of sidewalk. Landscaping tends to be modest and manicured, with shrubbery hugging the front façade to welcome visitors and frame the attached two-car garage.
Homes with colonial elements are among the traditional styles in Hampton Cove.
There are several ranch style homes on actual ranches in Huntsville's Hampton Cove.

Hike through the hilly terrain at Hays Nature Preserve
Staying active in Hampton Cove is easy thanks to more than 20 miles of paved paths and sidewalks that wind through the neighborhood, which connect with the Big Cove Creek Greenway and the Flint River Greenway. The latter is located in the Hays Nature Preserve, a sprawling park full of winding paths through the Cumberland Plateau landscape, past playgrounds, picnic tables and river access for swimming and fishing. Residents can head to Cove Park for kid-friendly outdoor fun, where they’ll find a playground alongside baseball and soccer fields where families cheer on their little ones.
The stocked lake at the Hays Nature Preserve has brim, bass, catfish and more.
People, dogs, and horses are allowed on the hiking trails at the Hays Nature Preserve.

Members relax at the Hampton House or play a round of golf
Residents of the Hampton Cove master-planned community, which lends its name to the larger area, enjoy amenities provided by the Hampton House. Membership to this community center grants access to a resort-style pool, tennis courts and year-round events and parties like the Fourth of July fireworks. Some subdivisions are centered around the Hampton Cove Golf Course, a 54-hole facility set on 650 acres of the river valley. The terrain changes drastically from one side of the property to the other, from the long grasses of the Highlands Course to the flood plain of the Flint River on the River Course. Hampton Cove is the northernmost course of the nine stops on Alabama’s famed Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail.
The Hampton Cove Golf Course in Huntsville Alabama is open to the public.
The pool at the Hampton House overlooks one of the lakes on the Hampton Cove Golf Course.

Pick up groceries or dinner close to home at Hampton Cove Center
For grocery shopping, locals head to the Walmart Supercenter or the Publix Super Market at Hampton Cove Center. Close to the Publix is Tortora’s Wood Fire Grille, an Italian restaurant best known for its pizza. Residents can relax on the patio or grab a front-row seat in the main dining room to watch the staff hand-toss the pizza dough. Yoshi Sushi Fusion, located just down the street, is another local favorite for fresh sushi and comforting bowls of ramen. While shopping and dining options in Hampton Cove are by no means extensive, folks have enough to stay satisfied close to home, with hip boutiques and eateries a little ways away in Downtown Huntsville and more big-box retail in Jones Valley.
