The historic roots and city connection of Five Points
With the charm of a historic district and just a mile east of downtown Huntsville, Five Points is a tiny neighborhood with big personality.

Five Points has an interesting mix of architectural features, with part of the area listed as a historic district. In Five Points, residents experience a blend of history and modernity while knowing there's a closeknit community feel backing up their everyday lives.

The diverse vintage homes found in Five Points
The homes in the area are generally smaller, with a high price per square foot. Sometimes, that could mean being ready for a home that might need some work. "It's an eclectic blend of entry-level housing spanning the last 150 years. Some are in great condition, while others need TLC. It depends on what sort of work you want to be into it," Pizzato says. Architectural styles include Craftsman, ranch-style, duplexes and manufactured homes. Historic Five Points also has lots of bungalows, in addition to styles like Queen Anne and Colonial Revival. Some homes have driveways at the front of the house, while others have garages behind the house, accessible only by a back alley running parallel to the main road between two rows of houses. Small homes that need some renovations sell between $150,000 and $200,000, modern townhomes sell between $200,000 and $260,000, while well-maintained vintage homes can range anywhere between $400,000 to $800,000.

Running errands and grabbing coffee from Olde Towne
Plenty of big-name errand stops are nearby, like the Publix Supermarket at Twickenham Square, the Kroger along Oakwood Avenue, or the Costco Wholesale on Memorial Parkway. A couple of convenience stores like Hi & Bye are in the area, and the Star Super Market, which should cover a quick, last-minute grocery run. While walking downtown, residents stop at Olde Towne Coffee Shop for in-house roasted coffee and breakfast sandwiches. For new American cuisine made with farm-fresh ingredients, 1892 East Restaurant & Tavern is a local favorite for its omelets and creole ragu pasta.

Hanging out on porches for live music
PorchFest FivePoints is a local event that started in response to the pandemic. It grew from a single-porch private concert to a series of concerts happening on several porches. It's a community-driven event made possible by porch hosts who want to share their hospitality, small business sponsors who believe in the community, and musicians excited to perform in front of a live crowd. On the evening of PorchFest, streets are closed where the concerts are held, and food trucks come rumbling in to sell food and drinks.
