Tranquil rural community surrounded by natural and manmade wonders
Along I-59 in Alabama’s Appalachian foothills lies the community of Steele. The community was established in the early 1800s by Revolutionary War veterans and has become home to both natural and manmade treasures of Alabama. From the billion-year-old rock formations in Horse Pens 40 park to the roar of racecar engines at the Alabama International Dragway, Steele is, as stated by Realtor Frank Minogue, "a quiet rural bedroom community," with plenty to keep locals busy.

Spacious homesteads and cozy cottages in STeele
Winding mountain roads and quiet rural streets offer sweeping views of Chandler Mountain. Realtor Frank Minogue, a resident of nearby Gadsden for 65 years, stated that Steele is a “small bedroom community between Gadsden and Birmingham, right on I-59. Locals commute to either city for work.” Expansive ranch and farmhouse-style houses are common, accentuating the rural environment and offering both spacious home lots and interiors. Smaller cottages offer cozier environs and there are also some more contemporary-styled houses available. Most houses are closer to either the roads or the town center and are within 10 minutes of Gadsden and an hour’s drive to Downtown Birmingham. Home prices range from $200,000 for smaller ranch-style houses to $1.0 million for more updated houses.

Music history in Steele's natural parks
Steele Community Center offers rentable space for local organizations as well as a playground for local children. Locals are steps away from serene mountain lakes, geological wonders and adrenaline-pumping action. Hiking trails lead through the scenic and rugged natural landscape of Chandler Mountain. Another vast park in Steele is Horse Pens 40, a sprawling park frequented by hikers, geologists and rock-climbing enthusiasts who enjoy the natural playground created by the park’s massive sandstone boulders. These boulders sheltered some of the region’s earliest Indigenous inhabitants and were once home to the largest bluegrass festival in the world, resulting in the park receiving the state-sponsored label “The Home of the Souths Bluegrass Music.” Steele is also home to the Alabama International Dragway, offering both racing enthusiasts and newcomers high-speed racing thrills.
