A Huntsville neighborhood surrounded by nature

At the top of north Huntsville’s Wade Mountain sits the Devil’s Race Track, a looping trail marked by an outcropping of limestone. According to local legend, the trail is where the Cherokee tribe held competitive horseraces. Today, there is no horseracing on the mountain, but the trail still serves as a panoramic view of the area; even Tennessee is visible on particularly clear days. Looking south from the trail will reveal the residential section of Meadow Hills, the Huntsville neighborhood in the mountain’s shadow. Shrouded in nature, the neighborhood is quiet and close to downtown Huntsville’s shops and restaurants. “It’s about affordability and location,” says Hollisha Green-Shannon, a broker with Cole Properties, Inc. “It’s great for families and investors.”

Ranch-style and Craftsman homes are prevalent

Towering oak trees envelop many of the neighborhood’s streets, and Wade Mountain can be seen in the distance. Most neighborhood roads do not have sidewalks, but wide streets keep the community walkable. A mix of architectural styles means homeowners are likely to find something that suits them. Ranch-style and split-level homes usually range from $140,000 to $340,000, and Craftsman/New Traditional homes typically range from $210,000 to $520,000. There are also investment properties available, usually from $100,000 to $160,000.
