Stage Road
Neighborhood in Auburn, Alabama
Lee County 36830
Neighborhood streets off Stage Road
Streets branch parallel off Stage Road, the neighborhood’s namesake. Evergreen trees tower over the mainly one-story homes, leaving some front yards carpeted with pine straw, especially so in the fall. Homes on the north end of the Stage Road neighborhood back up to train tracks. The sound of passing trains isn’t uncommon, nor is the sound of small private planes from Auburn University Regional Airport, a mile and a half away. Most of the ranch-style homes were built between the mid-1960s and 1970s and sell between the mid-$200,000s and mid-$300,000s. Newer cottages scatter through the southern portion of the neighborhood and sell from the mid-$300,000s to $400,000.

Hitting the links at Pines Crossing Golf Course
East of the neighborhood off University Drive, Duck Samford Park sits a mile away and is often packed with youth sports on weekends. The park has 10 baseball and softball fields, as well as two soccer fields and the football and soccer stadium for nearby Auburn High School. Golfers can head a mile and a half east to the Pines Crossing Golf Course, a public course that has been spotlighted by publications like Golf Digest. “They just redid that golf course,” Coffin says. “They renamed it, redid all the holes and the greens. It’s really nice now.” For recreation with less focus on sports, Chewacla State Park is 5 miles south and offers trails that lead to a waterfall, a lake open for swimming and campsites.

Students in Stage Road attend Auburn City Schools, starting with Dean Road Elementary for kindergarten through second grade and Wrights Mill Road Elementary for third through fifth grade. Dean Road receives an A-plus grade from Niche, while Wrights Mill Road receives an A. J.F. Drake Middle serves sixth grade and East Samford School serves seventh. Both receive an A grade. Students then move onto Auburn Junior High for eighth and ninth grade, before finishing up at Auburn High, each of which is also given an A. Niche ranks Auburn High School as the 12th-best public high school in the state of Alabama. Auburn University lies roughly 2 miles from the neighborhood and enrolls over 30,000 students.Rolling Toomer’s Corner after a Tigers win
With downtown Auburn nearby, residents of Stage Road enjoy the city’s events and festivals. Holiday celebrations like the annual Christmas parade draw attendees from across the area. But in the fall, college football is king. The chant of “War Eagle” echoes across Auburn University’s campus on gamedays, with nearly 90,000 fans packed into Jordan-Hare Stadium. Even more enjoy tailgating or — after a win — rolling Toomer’s Corner. Fans spill out from the stadium and congregate at Toomer’s, covering just about anything within throwing distance with toilet paper.

Access across Auburn-Opelika from Stage Road
Stage Road leads from the neighborhood's residential areas to Opelika Road, from which residents can get just about anywhere in the Auburn-Opelika area. Downtown Auburn is about a mile and a half from the neighborhood, while Opelika is closer to 6 miles. Interstate 85 is the main highway through East Alabama, a 3-mile drive from Stage Road. I-85 heads 60 miles west to Montgomery and 100 miles northeast to Atlanta. Most air travelers trek to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport as it offers more nonstop destinations than closer regional airports.

Shopping and dining on Dean Road and Opelika Road
Stage Road residents don’t have to travel far to reach the fast food and shopping destinations on Dean Road or Opelika Road. Kroger, the nearest grocery store, is less than half a mile from the neighborhood on Dean Road, while the Auburn Mall and eateries like Cook Out and Panera are a mile and a half away on Opelika Road. For a sit-down meal, Bow and Arrow is 2 miles east off Glenn Avenue and features Texas-style barbecue from a James Beard Award-nominated chef. Locals can also head to downtown Auburn for a night out, with restaurants such as Acre serving elevated Southern classics.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
