Ardmore is a quintessential small Southern town on the border between Alabama and Tennessee. Residents of Ardmore are more than happy to share the town's name with their sister city in Tennessee under a longstanding municipal relationship. The two towns have always worked together; even costs for the police and fire departments are split between them through taxes. Ardmore offers country living just a stone's throw from Tennessee and a short drive from all the museums, shopping and dining Huntsville offers. "Ardmore puts you pretty close to major cities, but it has that rural hometown feel," says Blake Johnson, owner of the Blake Johnson Real Estate Group, who was born and raised in Limestone County. "Agricultural and more rural communities tend to be close-knit."

Ranch style homes are a common sight in Ardmore.
Ranch homes and residential privacy
Stylized ranch homes and Craftsman-inspired styles make up much of the area, with residents decorating the porches and painting shutters for a personal touch. Residential privacy and acreage are a massive draw for those buying in the area, and while there are plenty of midcentury homes, Ardmore is seeing new development. Contemporary new traditional homes in small subdivisions have made their way onto the market. "You can get a lot of real estate for your money in the area," Johnson says. "Even though Limestone County is the fastest growing county in Alabama, you can still get a little more bang for your buck." Older, classic-style homes typically sell for between $200,000 and $300,000, while larger properties built in the 21st century sit between $310,000 and $380,000.
