About 4,700 government jobs are expected to
move to Huntsville with the relocation
of the Army Material Command, Army Security and Assistance Command, and
Space
& Missile Defense Command headquarters.
Huntsville and the rest of Madison County
rely heavily economically on the Redstone
Arsenal, which sits right outside of Huntsville. The presence of the Department
of
Defense and NASA not only bring a lot of government jobs to the area,
but a variety
of supportive industry jobs as well. Huntsville is home to major employers
in the
electronics, information technology, telecommunications and biotech industries.
The
large government and commercial presence has had a direct positive effect
on the
quality of life in Huntsville.
This relocation is expected to move
hundreds of people from the Washington, D.C.
area and all over the country into Huntsville properties. It is an attractive
move for many,
as Huntsville is nestled in the beautiful foothills of the Appalachian
Chain, has numerous employment opportunities and highly-rated schools,
yet it is among the lest expensive
places to live in the nation. One can live a similar lifestyle as they
did in Washington, D.C.
for a 36% less income, yet most civilian DoD workers make only 2% less
in Huntsville.
Nice and affordable new Huntsville homes
for sale are popping up at a rapid pace
throughout this 148 square mile Alabama city.
New communities with a wide range of
properties meet the needs of a variety of
new and current homeowners. The current population of over 160,000 people
consists
mostly of well-educated professionals with high-level degrees. Many families
currently
call Huntsville home because of its real southern home town feel, but
the numerous new
job openings are expected to attract a number of motivated young professionals
as well.
Huntsville realty varies from condos
and apartments to town houses and single family
homes, as well as large estates. Most Huntsville real estate carries a
southern charm
with large plots of land and lots of trees. Many new developments and
planned
communities such as Mt. Carmel by the River, The Overlook at Trace, Hampton
Cove
and The Ledges, provide diverse housing with valued amenities such as
swimming pools,
golf courses, shopping centers and parks. Natural attractions such as
lakes, rivers and
the mountains provide outdoor entertainment for active Huntsville homeowners.
Whether you are looking for a quaint little condo or an estate sized home
on a large
plot of land, just ask Steve Thomas of RE/MAX Huntsville/Madison to help
you find
the best Huntsville, Alabama real estate investment for you.
