Ardmore community with wide-open spaces

The Cedar Hill neighborhood of Ardmore, a small town on the Alabama-Tennessee state line, harkens back to a time when America felt more rural. It’s a place where the only restaurant is a buffet, and houses sit far apart from one another on multiacre lots. But that doesn't mean neighbors aren't friendly. “People still wave to you there," says Elaine LeFevre, a Realtor with Century 21 Prestige who lived in the area for 16 years. They still stop and talk to you outside of stores. They support each other.”

Ranch-style and Cape Cod homes on big lots

Houses in Cedar Hill are built far apart, giving homeowners plenty of space to call their own. Most of the neighborhood’s homes are set back from the county roads that act as its northern and southern borders, as well as Elkwood Section Road, which runs through its center. LeFevre says the neighborhood is attractive to people who work in nearby cities like Huntsville, but who want to live in a more rural environment. Cedar Hill is short on sidewalks, but long on highways, trees and farmland. Ranch-style and split-level homes often have brick or vinyl exteriors and come with two- or three-car garages. These homes can range from $190,000 to $490,000. Larger Cape Cod and Craftsman homes can range from $630,000 to $750,000. Cedar Hill has a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.

In October, a walking trail of scarecrows is arranged at the park, and the town holds its Harvest Festival at the Ardmore Public Library.
