Cedar Hill
Rural Neighborhood in Ardmore, Alabama
Limestone County 35739
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.

The Ardmore Crape Myrtle Festival brings food and fun
Ardmore holds its Ardmore Crape Myrtle Festival each spring. More than 140 food and retail vendors from across the region gather at John T. Barnes Park for a day of fun. In October, a walking trail of scarecrows is arranged at the park, and the town holds its Harvest Festival at the Ardmore Public Library. In addition to a Trunk-or-Treat event, the festival holds games and hands out prizes for the best displays. Library Director Tina O’Driscoll says the festival is part of a charge to improve the community and attract more people to the area.A 25-mile drive to downtown Huntsville
