Wilsonville is a place of long country roads and wide open spaces located in the heart of Shelby County, Alabama. “We have the perfect balance between rural and suburban living because you’ve got access to nearby amenities while still maintaining a more relaxed pace compared to larger urban areas,” says Jennifer Maier, executive director at the Shelby County Museum & Archives. “We’ve also got a growing economy with diverse job opportunities since we’re not far from Birmingham.”

Wilsonville has a rich history dating back to the late 1800s

Wilsonville was first incorporated in 1897 and named after Elisha Wilson, an early settler. Rich in history, the community is home to Confederate forts that date back to the early 1800s along with an original railroad depot, the first in the county, and one of the first steam plants in the state. Wilsonville is prepared for and expects some residential growth in the near future thanks to the construction of a new wastewater treatment plant along the Coosa River that will be able to better serve the growing population.

Housing stock includes everything from cottages to colonials

Homes in Wilsonville range from colonials and cottages to bungalows and brick ranch-style options. Large, country-style front porches are a common amenity that pair well with spacious lots shaded by towering trees. Home prices can be anywhere from $165,000 fixer-uppers to $2,400,000 custom homes on 100-acre lots. Homes vary in size from 1,200 to 5,700 square feet and some date back to the 1930s, with newer construction built as recently as 2019. There are a total of 1,550 homes in Wilsonville and the average number of days on the market is roughly the same as the national average.

Abundant outdoor amenities vary from campgrounds to sports courts

Already abundant with natural green spaces like campgrounds and extensive fishing and hunting opportunities, Wilsonville also has smaller spaces designated for sports fields and playgrounds. Helms Park has multiple baseball fields and a concession stand so the community can gather to catch the latest game. Oak Meadow Park has multiple sports fields including soccer and football. The picnic shelters and playground are a popular destination for families, along with the walking trails.

Historic churches and horseback riding
