Monrovia
Suburban Neighborhood in Huntsville, Alabama
Madison County 35749, 35757, 35806
New subdivisions around the commercial corridor
Most homes feature new traditional architecture and at least three bedrooms, with a bonus room above the attached garages. These houses usually sit on quarter-to-half-acre lawns, with backyards big enough to add an in-ground pool and still have room for the dog to run around. The newest housing developments can be found near the highway, around a large commercial corridor. There are two-story townhomes with private back patios and detached contemporary craftsman homes in HOA subdivisions. Like most of Madison County, Monrovia homes feature brick exteriors that are sturdy enough to survive tornado season every March through May. Today, Monrovia's listings tend to fall within the $300,000 to $600,000 range.Easy commute to Redstone Arsenal and Research Park
Monrovia sits near the west edge of Madison County, just 10 miles north of Huntsville and the City of Madison. Ardmore Highway runs along the neighborhood's eastern edge. It intersects with Research Park Boulevard, which connects to Redstone Arsenal and the Research Park in 10 to 15 miles. Highway 72 serves as Monrovia's south border and connects to Downtown Huntsville. While the highway can get congested around rush hour, "there's several entrances to Monrovia, so you don't have to sit in traffic on 72," Locke says.All Purple Star Schools in Madison County
Monrovia students are zoned for Madison County Schools. All of the schools in this district are certified Purple Star Schools, with various programs designed to help students from military families adjust to their new schools. Monrovia Elementary, Monrovia Middle and Sparkman High School all score A-minus' on Niche.Babe Ruth baseball leagues practice at Phillips Park
Babe Ruth baseball and softball leagues play on the fenced-in fields at Phillips Park. During the Saturday games, kids too young to compete can climb on one of the three playgrounds weaved between the ballparks. There's also a sandbox with toys to share, a few walking trails and an outdoor gym with 11 fitness stations. When it's raining, folks head to the indoor track and basketball courts at the Monrovia Community Center or walk next door to visit the local library.Everyday shopping and dining along Highway 72
Most of the shopping and dining in Monrovia is found along Highway 72. National fast-food chains and big box retailers like Lowes and TJ Maxx cluster around this corridor to form a typical suburban power center. There are a few local hot spots sprinkled between the department stores. Residents can pull up to ChuckWagon BBQ for smokey Texas-style brisket or stop by Daylight Donuts for a tasty treat before commuting to work. Towards the center of the neighborhood, Walmart Neighborhood Market and Publix make getting groceries a breeze.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.
