Tanner offer quiet, rural vibes between Athens and Decatur
Sandwiched between the cities of Athens and Decatur is Tanner — a rural, unincorporated community in the heart of Alabama's Limestone County. Tanner lacks a diverse selection of shopping and dining destinations, and that's partially what draws people there. Locals treasure the quiet, easygoing lifestyle of North Alabama's scenic countryside, and with the Swan Creek Wildlife Management Area just a short drive away, residents have the natural beauty of the Tennessee River right in their backyard. "Some people move in not planning to stay long-term, but end up liking the area," says Luther Smith, a broker at Century 21 J and L Realty, who has over 16 years of real estate experience.
Tanner is bordered on the south by the Tennessee River.

Many Tanner locals hunt for waterfowl at Swan Creek Wildlife Management Area
Tanner offers plenty of recreation for outdoorsmen. Swan Creek Wildlife Management Area consumes much of Tanner's southside along the Tennessee River, serving as a top spot for local hunters. Marksmen also frequent Swan Creek Wildlife Management Area Shooting Range to practice their hand-eye in preparation for hunting season. Little Leaguers, meanwhile, can gather for batting practice at the nearby Fred Frickie Park.

Many of Tanner's homes are new traditional style.
Rural roads feature established homes, while newer builds take root in Houston Place
Tanner features a wide range of home styles and frameworks. New Traditionals and brick Greek Revivals with large, sprawling yards dominate Houston Place, while established ranch-styles and manufactured homes line the community's flat roads cutting through vast farmland. Older, smaller homes usually price between $100,000 and $200,000, but larger, newer properties with four or more bedrooms can range from $500,000 to $800,000. Given its rural setting, homes in Tanner often spend up to three months or more on the market — far longer than the national average of 42 days.
Tanner Elementary and Tanner High offer small class sizes
Students in Tanner are served by the Limestone County School District. Kids attend Tanner Elementary School, which earns an overall grade of B-minus from Niche, before advancing to Tanner High School, which shares the elementary school's campus, for Grades 6 through 12. Earning a B rating, Tanner High has a total enrollment of just over 400 students, making for smaller class sizes and a more personalized learning experience. "A smaller student population means more opportunities for someone to be the football hero or the head cheerleader," Smith says. After high school, teens may enroll at Calhoun Community College on Tanner's southside.
