Growing commuter neighborhood north of Huntsville

Though it has maintained a rural feel for centuries, Hazel Green is a growing community 15 miles north of Huntsville. With home prices $100,000 below the average in Madison County, the neighborhood continues to provide a lower-cost alternative to nearby suburbs. This factor is especially important to those moving from out of state for job opportunities in the city. “There’s a good mix of people buying there right now. A lot of people are coming from all over the United States, and a lot of people seem to be from California,” explains David Ali of Capstone Realty, an agent with many sales in the neighborhood and a resident of Madison County.

Spacious properties and newly constructed homes in Madison County

Many of the neighborhood’s homes include ranch-style architecture, though custom builds are popping up in recently added subdivisions. While homes from the 1960s and 1970s often lack an attached garage, nearly all newly constructed homes incorporate one- and two-car garages in their design. Many properties sit on at least a quarter of an acre, with some including over 5 acres. Prices for three-bedroom resale houses begin around $180,000, and similarly sized new builds start closer to $250,000. Homes with at least four bedrooms tend to sit on larger lots, driving the prices above $400,000.

Commuting to Redstone Arsenal and beyond

Though no bus lines run through Hazel Green, traveling through and outside Madison County proves simple. Route 431 acts as the main point of connection for commutes to major employers in the city limits. “Huntsville has tons of different job opportunities like Redstone Arsenal, a lot of government contractor positions, NASA, the Toyota plant and Polaris,” Ali says. For travels outside Alabama, Huntsville International is less than 30 miles southwest, and the nearest on-ramps for Interstate 65 are in Ardmore, Tennessee, about 20 miles northwest.

Children’s activities close to home and annual events in Rocket City

Because Hazel Green is a quiet residential community, events are few and far between, but the entertainment of Huntsville is only about 15 miles south. Closest to home, Tillman D. Hill Public Library hosts events throughout the year, including regular clubs for homeschooled students to socialize, and Hazel Green High School sports draw a crowd on game night. For annual events like the Panoply Arts Festival and Rocket City Brewfest in Huntsville, Route 431 connects right to the heart of the city.
