New Sharon
Rural Neighborhood in Hazel Green, Alabama
Madison County 35750
Modern homes and custom builds with large acreages
New Sharon differs from some of its neighbors because it has more residential subdivisions, including some with contemporary new builds. New traditional and ranch-style homes in these subdivisions typically feature half-acre to four-acre lots and are priced between $200,000 and $475,000. Newer and larger modern farmhouse-style homes list anywhere from $700,000 to $1 million. Barndominium-style manufactured homes round out New Sharon's housing options and list from $115,000 to $300,000. However, if buyers don't want to live in a subdivision, "You can still buy a few acres and put a house on it," Cote says. Land often lists between $150,000 for three acres and $350,000 for 20 acres.Parks and preserves surround New Sharon
Blue Water Springs Park is one of the community's closest places for outdoor recreation. In addition to its playground, the park has athletic fields with a concession stand for Little League games. New Sharon is about 35 to 40 miles from the Tennessee River, a go-to spot for fishing, boating, kayaking and other water sports. There are also swimming holes, fishing creeks and walking trails, such as the Trojan Trail Greenway in the neighboring community of Hazel Green. State parks and green spaces, including Wade Mountain Nature Preserve, are less than 30 miles away in the Appalachian Mountains. There are miles of trails winding through hills and valleys here, and the preserve is rich with wildlife and popular with birdwatchers. Monte Sano State Park is another popular option, featuring mountain biking trails, a playground and a campground.Madison County School System offers technical academies for high schoolers
New Sharon students may attend the Madison County School System. Students may start at Hazel Green Elementary, which earns an overall A-minus rating from Niche. Meridianville Middle earns an A-minus, and Hazel Green High earns a B-plus. The high school offers students several career and technical education academies, including marketing, STEM and health science pathways options.Highway 431 brings residents to Huntsville
Highway 431 is the area's most prominent thoroughfare, connecting residents to larger communities south, like Hazel Green and Huntsville. Highway 72 connects west to Interstate 65. Public transportation is not available to New Sharon residents. Huntsville Hospital is 20 miles from the community, but the Huntsville Urgent Care in Hazel Green provides a more immediate option. Huntsville International Airport is the closest to New Sharon, 33 miles away. New Sharon's CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.Residents head south for dining and retail
Because New Sharon is very rural, residents go south for amenities. "You have to leave the area to do everything, but there's a Walmart and some restaurants and medical offices in downtown Hazel Green," Cote says. Big Stacks Pit Shop is a favorite for Alabama-style barbecue platters, while Las Trojas Cantina provides classic taco platters and margaritas. Huntsville is the closest option for big box stores like Target and Sam's Club. There are also shopping malls, like Bridge Street Town Center, which offers eateries, a movie theater, retail chains and department stores. Huntsville is also a go-to for entertainment, with venues like the Von Braun Center hosting hockey and basketball games, monster truck rallies and concerts.

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.
