New subdivisions meet demands of growing Huntsville high-tech sector
Meridianville is a rapidly growing suburban community at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Spacious homes here are nestled in neat subdivisions amid farmland where farmers still grow cotton, wheat and even tulips. New construction has exploded to keep pace with the growing number of commuters who work for high-tech companies such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing and NASA. Meridianville’s top-rated schools, convenient shopping and easy commuting make it an attractive option for many buyers, especially those who prefer newly built homes. Despite the predominance of new homes in the area, pricing still tends to be more affordable than what buyers would find in Huntsville 10 miles south.
Many of the newer homes being constructed in Meridianville are larger with three garages.
Many newer construction homes in Meridianville are brick and moderatley priced.

New construction abounds in growing subdivisions
Homes can range from the $300,000s to the $700,000s, with a median list price of $335,000. Homes at the higher end tend to be newer construction. “Pricing is a draw for homebuyers,” says Realtor Ashton Colón with Legend Realty. “You get more bang for your buck.” Many of the area's ranches and colonial-style homes date back to the 1960s and tend to sell for between $300,000 and $400,000. These homes were built on large lots that were carved out of farmland. Newer homes have smaller lots in subdivisions that still sit alongside farmland. Homes in Kendallwood, one of the newest subdivisions of the Woodlands development, can range in price from $ 500,000 to $ 700,000. Most of these large homes are in the new traditional style and include three to five bedrooms. Newer subdivisions tend to have wide sidewalks and many include side-entry garages. Some have wooded lots.

Nature lovers and outdoors sports fans can choose from a variety of natural settings for their favorite activities. “Within minutes, you can be in the mountains, or flat farmlands or enjoying multiple bodies of freshwater smack dab between Birmingham and Nashville,” says Seth Hubert, owner of the Hubert Family Farms six miles away in New Market. His family has owned the farm since 1917 and he’s lived in the area his whole life. Closer to home, golfers can hit the links at Colonial Golf Club 6 miles away. Residents can reserve tee times any day of the week at this public course.

Pumpkin Destruction Day is an annual local favorite
Occasional airshows at the Huntsville Executive Airport entertain local airplane buffs. A recently expanded runway is a welcome improvement for private and corporate pilots. In the spring, residents can greet the new season by strolling through fields of tulips, picking as many as they want at Hubert Farms. In the fall, they can enjoy picking pumpkins at Tate Farm. At season’s end, locals gather for Pumpkin Destruction Day when monster trucks and cannons destroy leftover pumpkins.
