Growth is underway in Whitesburg
The southern Huntsville community of Whitesburg has a lot to offer. There’s plenty of housing variety, a wealth of retail and dining options, great parks and with the upcoming Hays Farm master-planned development, the best is yet to come. Construction is underway on the sweeping development, and once complete, it will feature over 500 single-family homes, 600 multi-family units, a shopping center, and an expansive park with a man-made lake and gazebo. “Whitesburg is a wonderful place to live. The schools and the family traditions have always been great. Huntsville, in general, has been rated one of the top places to live in the U.S. for families by U.S. News & World Report,” says Kelli Karnes, a Realtor with Leading Edge Real Estate Group, who grew up in the area. “Whitesburg is experiencing a revitalization. There’s a lot of growth happening with the Hays Farm development. It’s going to be a live, work, play environment. It’s going to be a very beautiful community.”
