Huntsville AL Homes for Sale

Located in North Alabama in the heart of the Tennessee Valley, Huntsville is a thriving community with roots dating back to the old cotton row days. Our high-tech city is surrounded by picturesque mountains, a community where homes have gracious Southern style, taxes are more than reasonable, schools are excellent, entertainment is remarkable, and shopping is fun. This is a place where traffic is negligible and the number of PhD’s per capita is the highest in the US. Huntsville is one of the most recognized cities in the Southeast — consistently named as one of the best places to live and work by a variety of national publications. Our city is regularly named as a premier location for both business and quality of life. Technology, space, and defense industries have a major presence here with the Army's Redstone Arsenal, NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, and Cummings Research Park. The US Space & Rocket Center can also be found here.

Home to several Fortune 500 companies, Huntsville also offers a broad base of manufacturing, retail and service industries. Our quality of life is second to none — with an endless array of educational, recreational, and cultural opportunities.

Loretta Spencer, our Mayor, says that we, “successfully combines the rich heritage of Southern hospitality with innovative high-tech ventures and cultural diversity.”
