Selling a Home Outside Huntsville City Limits? We Can Help.
If you live in Hazel Green, Harvest, Meridianville, Toney, Gurley, New Hope, Owens Cross Roads, Triana, New Market, or Moores Mill and need to sell your house quickly, Yellowhammer Home Buyers can help. We’ve purchased dozens of homes in these communities and understand what makes selling outside Huntsville city limits different—from septic systems and well water to county-only building codes and limited buyer pools.
We’re Brandon Hardiman (Licensed Agent #000170383-1) and David Barnett (Licensed Broker #000110591-1 and U.S. Army Veteran). Since 2021, we’ve completed over 200 transactions throughout North Alabama—including properties in Hazel Green, Harvest, Toney, Meridianville, and other communities you won’t find on most investors’ radar. We’re not a call center in another state or an unlicensed wholesaler. Our office is at 606 Rison Ave NE in Huntsville, and we drive these roads every week.
Why that matters for you: Most “we buy houses” companies focus exclusively on Huntsville city limits where homes are easier to comp and resell. They don’t understand rural Madison County properties—homes on septic instead of city sewer, well water systems, properties on acreage, mobile homes on private land, or houses in volunteer fire districts where insurance costs more. We buy all of it. We know the difference between a Hazel Green property on Grimwood Road with half an acre and a subdivision home in Meridianville off Highway 231, and we price our offers accordingly.

Why Homeowners in These Communities Choose Us Over Huntsville-Based Investors
Selling a home in Hazel Green or Harvest isn’t the same as selling in downtown Huntsville. Smaller communities have different buyer pools, different property types, and different challenges. Many cash buyers skip these areas entirely—or lowball because they don’t understand rural Madison County values. We take the opposite approach. Check out our Seller Resources page for more on how we help homeowners in every situation.
We Actually Know These Communities
We’ve purchased homes on Terry Lane in Hazel Green, on Cloverbrook Drive in Harvest, on county roads in Toney, and everywhere in between. We understand that a 1,400 sq ft home on Ready Section Road in Hazel Green is a completely different property—and a completely different offer—than a similar-sized home in a Huntsville subdivision. We drive these neighborhoods, we know the roads, and we’ve closed deals in every community listed on this page. That firsthand experience means our offers reflect actual local values, not a generic formula applied from 20 miles away.
We Buy Properties Other Investors Won’t Touch
Many cash home buyers avoid properties outside city limits because they’re harder to resell. A home on septic and well water in Toney won’t qualify for FHA financing without inspections passing. A house on acreage in New Hope requires a different renovation approach than a tract home. We buy houses in any condition—including the types of properties that make other investors walk away. Mobile homes on private land, houses with failing septic systems, properties with unclear lot lines, homes in flood zones near the Flint River—we’ve handled it all.
No Commissions, No Fees, No Closing Costs
Listing a rural Madison County home with a real estate agent often means waiting 60-120 days or more—the buyer pool is smaller than Huntsville, and many properties need work that conventional buyers won’t take on. During that time, you’re still paying the mortgage, insurance, and upkeep. When you sell to us, the offer we make is the exact check you receive. We cover title company fees, recording fees, transfer taxes—everything. No 6% agent commissions eating into your proceeds. See the full breakdown of selling costs.
We Handle Rural Property Complications
Homes outside Huntsville city limits come with challenges that city properties don’t. Septic system failures can cost $15,000-$25,000 to replace. Well water systems need testing and sometimes treatment systems ($3,000-$8,000). Some properties have easement issues, shared driveways, or unclear property boundaries. Others sit in volunteer fire districts where insurance premiums are higher. We’ve navigated all of these situations and factor them into fair offers without using them as excuses to lowball you.
Cash Means Certainty—No Financing to Fall Through
Rural Madison County properties are especially vulnerable to financing fall-throughs. A conventional buyer might love your Harvest home, but if the appraisal comes in low or the lender flags the septic system, well water, or foundation cracks, the deal collapses. With us, there’s no bank involved. We use our own cash, which means no appraisal contingencies, no lender requirements, and no waiting 30-45 days for loan approval. Once you accept our offer, we close—typically in 7-21 days.
We Solve Difficult Situations Others Can’t
No situation is too complicated:
- Facing foreclosure? We can purchase before the Madison County Courthouse auction and often close in 7-10 days.
- Inherited property you don’t want? We handle probate sales through Madison County Probate Court and can often make offers before probate fully closes.
- House needs major repairs? We buy fixer-uppers in any condition—foundation damage, roof failures, outdated everything.
- Tired of being a landlord? We buy rental properties with tenants in place—no eviction required.
- Mobile home on land? We purchase mobile homes on private land throughout Madison County.

Real Homes We’ve Purchased in These Communities
These aren’t hypothetical examples. These are actual properties we’ve bought from real homeowners in smaller cities in Madison County. Every address is verifiable on Google Maps.
212 Terry Ln, Hazel Green, AL 35757
The Homeowner: Perry needed help fast when the foreclosure process started on their Hazel Green home.
The Problem: Perry had fallen behind on mortgage payments and received notice that foreclosure proceedings had begun. On top of the financial pressure, the property needed electrical updates that would have cost thousands to address. The clock was ticking toward auction at the Madison County Courthouse, and Perry didn’t have the time or resources to list traditionally, make repairs, or wait months for a conventional buyer to secure financing. The electrical issues alone would have failed a standard home inspection, making a traditional sale nearly impossible even with enough time.
Our Solution: We made Perry a fair cash offer that accounted for the electrical work needed and the urgency of the situation. No repairs, no showings, no agents taking commissions. We purchased the home completely as-is and closed in just 10 days—well before the foreclosure auction date. We covered all closing costs and made sure there were no surprise fees at the title company, so the amount we offered was exactly what Perry received.
Perry’s Result: Foreclosure stopped, credit protected, and a fresh start without the weight of missed payments following them.
1517 Ready Section Rd, Hazel Green, AL 35750
The Homeowner: Kyle owned a Hazel Green property in rough shape and knew it wouldn’t sell the traditional way.
The Problem: Kyle’s property needed heavy work—most significantly a full roof replacement, which alone can cost $8,000-$16,000 depending on the size and materials. The home wouldn’t qualify for a retail buyer because no conventional lender will approve a mortgage on a property with a failing roof. That meant Kyle was stuck: he couldn’t afford the roof replacement, and without fixing it, he couldn’t sell to anyone using financing. On top of the roof, the house had additional repair needs that would have required coordinating multiple contractors over weeks or months.
Our Solution: We made Kyle a fair cash offer and bought the property in its current condition—no repairs, no contractors, no waiting. We closed in 12 days and handled the entire process from contract to closing. We even helped line up a junk removal crew for leftover items Kyle didn’t want to deal with, saving him additional time and hassle during the move.
Kyle’s Result: Property sold quickly without spending a dollar on repairs, moved forward without the burden of an unsellable home.
324 Priest Ln, Hazel Green, AL 35750
The Homeowner: Donna was buying a new home and wanted a clean, simple sale of her Hazel Green property without the stress of traditional listing.
The Problem: Donna’s home needed kitchen and bathroom updates—the kinds of cosmetic work that buyers notice immediately and expect sellers to address before purchase. Updated kitchens and bathrooms can cost $15,000-$35,000 combined, and Donna didn’t want to invest that money or manage contractors while simultaneously preparing for her new home purchase. She needed the proceeds from this sale quickly and couldn’t afford to wait 60-90 days on the traditional market while hoping a buyer would overlook the dated interiors.
Our Solution: We stepped in as a cash buyer—no repairs needed, no showings disrupting Donna’s schedule, no agents involved. We made a fair offer accounting for the kitchen and bathroom updates and closed in 18 days. We arranged a mobile notary so Donna could sign documents at her convenience instead of taking time off to visit the title company, keeping everything flexible around her move-in schedule for her new home.
Donna’s Result: Sold quickly, proceeds in hand for her new home, zero repair hassle.
174 Doris Dr, Harvest, AL 35749
The Homeowner: Dawn inherited a Harvest property and wanted a clean, simple sale without the headaches of managing a renovation from afar.
The Problem: After inheriting the home, Dawn discovered it needed plumbing repairs—the kind of issue that prevents a traditional sale because lenders won’t approve financing on a property with known plumbing failures. Dawn didn’t want to manage contractors, deal with months of cleanup, or navigate the complexities of selling an inherited property through the traditional process. The house had accumulated years of deferred maintenance, and coordinating repairs remotely would have been expensive and time-consuming.
Our Solution: We made Dawn a fair cash offer accounting for all plumbing repairs. No contractors, no showings, no agents. We purchased the home completely as-is and closed in just 10 days. We coordinated directly with the title company to keep the probate and closing process smooth, handling all the paperwork so Dawn didn’t have to make multiple trips or take time off work.
Dawn’s Result: Inherited property settled quickly, cash in hand, zero management hassle.
172 Cloverbrook Dr, Harvest, AL 35749
The Homeowner: Dontrell was behind on mortgage payments and wanted to avoid foreclosure on their Harvest home.
The Problem: Dontrell had fallen behind on payments and the lender was moving toward foreclosure. The property also needed a new HVAC system—a $8,000-$14,000 expense that Dontrell couldn’t afford on top of the missed mortgage payments. Without a working HVAC system, the home wouldn’t pass inspection for a conventional buyer, and the foreclosure timeline didn’t allow for months of traditional listing. Dontrell needed a buyer who could close before the auction date and take the property as-is.
Our Solution: We made a fair cash offer that accounted for the HVAC replacement needed. We purchased the home as-is—no repairs, no showings—and closed in under 30 days, well before the foreclosure auction. During the process, a minor title issue surfaced that could have derailed a traditional sale, but we handled it directly and kept the closing date on track so Dontrell could move forward with certainty.
Dontrell’s Result: Foreclosure avoided, title issue resolved, fresh start secured.
109 Elmhurst Dr, Harvest, AL 35749
The Homeowner: Valarie was behind on payments and needed to sell her Harvest home before the situation got worse.
The Problem: Valarie had missed several mortgage payments and was facing foreclosure. The property also needed electrical updates—outdated wiring and panel issues that would have cost thousands to bring up to code. Between the missed payments and the repair needs, selling traditionally wasn’t realistic. Valarie needed someone who could handle the situation quickly and without adding more financial stress to an already difficult time.
Our Solution: We handled everything from paperwork to closing so it stayed stress-free for Valarie. We made a fair cash offer, purchased the home as-is with no repairs required, and closed in 3 weeks—fast enough to stop the foreclosure process. We covered all closing costs and made sure there were no surprise fees, so the amount we offered was exactly what Valarie walked away with.
Valarie’s Result: Foreclosure stopped, no out-of-pocket costs, moved on with peace of mind.

Communities We Serve Throughout Madison County
We purchase properties in every corner of Madison County—not just Huntsville and Madison city limits. Here’s a closer look at the communities where we actively buy:
Communities where we actively purchase:
Hazel Green (35750, 35757)
Hazel Green sits along Highway 231 north of Huntsville and is one of the larger unincorporated communities in Madison County. Housing stock ranges from older farmhouses on multi-acre lots to 1990s-2000s subdivisions built during the Huntsville growth boom. Many homes are on septic systems and well water rather than city utilities. Common issues we see: aging septic systems needing replacement ($15,000-$25,000), roof damage from North Alabama storms, outdated electrical panels, and foundation settlement on the clay soil that runs through the area. We’ve purchased multiple Hazel Green properties including homes on Terry Lane, Ready Section Road, and Priest Lane.
Harvest (35749)
Harvest is a census-designated place northwest of Huntsville along the Highway 53 corridor. It’s grown significantly since the 1990s with a mix of established subdivisions and rural properties. Homes here range from 1980s ranch-style houses to early 2000s construction in developments like Monrovia and the neighborhoods off Jeff Road. Harvest properties frequently need HVAC replacements ($8,000-$14,000) as systems from the original builds reach end of life, and foundation issues are common throughout. We’ve closed deals on Doris Drive, Cloverbrook Drive, and Elmhurst Drive—all within the past year.
Meridianville (35759)
Meridianville sits northeast of Huntsville along Highway 231 and has experienced rapid growth as Huntsville’s metro area expanded northward. The community has a mix of older farmsteads, 1990s subdivisions, and newer construction. Properties along Meridianville Road and in the neighborhoods near Meridianville Middle School are popular family areas. Challenges include homes built during the 1990s construction rush that used builder-grade materials now reaching failure age—HVAC systems, roofing, and water heaters all hitting 25-30 years simultaneously. We purchase Meridianville properties in any condition.
Toney (35773)
Toney is a small, rural community northwest of Huntsville along Highway 53 past Harvest. Properties here tend to sit on larger lots—often an acre or more—with septic and well water being standard rather than the exception. Housing stock includes 1970s-1980s ranch homes, some manufactured housing on private land, and newer scattered-site construction. The rural character means a smaller buyer pool for traditional sales, and properties with failing septic systems or well water issues can sit on the market for months. We buy Toney properties regardless of lot size, utility type, or condition.
Gurley (35748)
Gurley is a small incorporated town east of Huntsville along Highway 72 near the Jackson County line. The town has a historic downtown area with homes dating to the early 1900s and surrounding rural properties on larger parcels. Gurley properties often feature older construction with original systems—electrical, plumbing, and HVAC—that need complete replacement. The town’s distance from Huntsville’s urban core means traditional buyers are fewer, and homes needing work can languish on the market. We actively purchase in Gurley and handle all needed repairs after closing.
New Hope (35760)
New Hope sits southeast of Huntsville near the Paint Rock River valley. This small town features a mix of historic homes near the town center and rural properties throughout the surrounding area. New Hope properties frequently have well water and septic systems, and many older homes need foundation work due to the clay and limestone soil composition in this part of Madison County. The limited local buyer pool makes traditional sales challenging, especially for properties needing significant work. We purchase homes in New Hope in any condition.
Owens Cross Roads (35763)
Owens Cross Roads is an unincorporated community southeast of Huntsville near Hampton Cove and the base of Monte Sano Mountain. The area has seen significant development in recent decades with newer subdivisions alongside established rural properties. Homes in the older sections frequently need updates—roof replacements, HVAC systems, and cosmetic renovations to compete with the newer construction nearby. Properties closer to the mountain may have unique foundation considerations due to the rocky terrain. We purchase in all parts of Owens Cross Roads.
Triana, New Market & Moores Mill
Triana (35756) is a small town southwest of Huntsville near the Tennessee River and Redstone Arsenal. Properties here are often older with deferred maintenance, and the town’s small size means very few buyers for traditional listings. New Market (35761) sits in northern Madison County near the Tennessee state line with predominantly rural properties on larger parcels—many with septic, well water, and outbuildings. Moores Mill is an unincorporated area east of Huntsville with a mix of rural homesteads and newer development along Moores Mill Road. We buy properties in all three communities regardless of condition, lot size, or utility configuration.

About Brandon
I grew up in North Alabama and know these Madison County communities personally. Before getting into real estate, I spent over a decade as an engineer—which means I approach every property methodically and understand construction at a technical level. When I look at a home in Hazel Green with foundation issues or a Harvest property needing a new roof, I can accurately assess what repairs actually cost rather than guessing or inflating estimates. I’ve personally handled over 200 transactions since 2021, including numerous purchases in the communities on this page. I drive through Hazel Green, Harvest, and Meridianville regularly—these aren’t pins on a map to me, they’re neighborhoods I know.

Licensed Real Estate Broker & U.S. Army Veteran
Alabama License #000110591-1

About David
After serving in the U.S. Army, I got my real estate license in 2014 and have completed over 400 transactions throughout my career. I’ve specialized in home renovation management since 2017, which means I personally oversee the repair work on every property we purchase. When we buy a home in Harvest that needs HVAC and foundation work, I’m the one coordinating our contractors and making sure the job gets done right. My construction background allows me to give sellers accurate repair assessments—not inflated numbers designed to lower our offer. I’ve renovated properties throughout Madison County and understand the unique challenges of working on homes outside city limits.
Why our licenses matter to you: Many “we buy houses” operations are run by unlicensed investors. Our licenses mean we’re accountable to the Alabama Real Estate Commission, bound by professional ethics, and able to offer you more options—not just a cash purchase. We can also list your home if that makes more sense for your situation.
“Great company to work with. They purchased my property as is and closed pretty fast which worked out great for us. Would recommend working with Yellowhammer Home Buyers.”
-Sergio Aguinaga
Challenges Unique to Selling Outside Huntsville City Limits
Selling a home in Hazel Green, Harvest, or Toney isn’t the same as selling in Huntsville proper. Here are the specific challenges we see—and solve—regularly:
Septic System & Well Water Properties:
Most homes in Toney, New Market, rural Hazel Green, and parts of Harvest are on private septic systems and well water rather than city sewer and water. When these systems fail—and they do, especially septic systems over 25-30 years old—replacement costs are significant: $15,000-$25,000 for a new septic system and $5,000-$12,000 for well pump replacement or water treatment systems. Traditional buyers often won’t purchase a home with a questionable septic report, and FHA/VA loans require a passing septic inspection. We buy these properties as-is and handle all system replacements after closing.
Smaller Buyer Pool = Longer Market Time:
A comparable home in Huntsville city limits might have 10-15 interested buyers in the first week. That same home in Gurley or New Hope might see 2-3 showings in the first month. The math is simple: fewer buyers means longer time on market, more carrying costs, and less leverage in negotiations. If your property also needs repairs, the buyer pool shrinks further. We eliminate this problem entirely—we’re your buyer, ready to close on your timeline, regardless of where the property sits in Madison County.
County Building Codes vs. City Codes:
Properties outside Huntsville and Madison city limits fall under Madison County jurisdiction rather than city building departments. County code enforcement operates differently, and some older properties may have additions, outbuildings, or modifications that were never properly permitted. These unpermitted improvements can create title issues and financing hurdles for traditional sales. We understand the difference between city and county processes and can navigate these situations—we’ve purchased properties with unpermitted additions, converted garages, and other modifications that scared off conventional buyers.
Volunteer Fire Districts & Insurance Costs:
Some rural Madison County properties are served by volunteer fire departments rather than municipal fire services. This can significantly affect homeowner’s insurance premiums—often $500-$1,500 more per year than comparable homes within city fire department coverage. For homeowners trying to sell traditionally, higher insurance costs deter buyers. For us, it’s just another factor we account for in our offer calculation. We’ve purchased properties in every fire district configuration across Madison County.
Properties on Acreage & Land Valuation:
Many Toney, New Market, and rural Hazel Green properties sit on 1-5+ acres. Appraising these properties is more complex than a subdivision home because comparable sales are harder to find—each parcel is unique. This makes conventional financing difficult because lenders struggle with appraisal uncertainty. We use our experience purchasing dozens of acreage properties across Madison County to make fair offers that account for both the home value and the land, without the appraisal contingency that kills so many traditional deals on larger lots.
How We Calculate Your Cash Offer
We believe in complete transparency. Here’s the exact formula we use for every offer—whether your property is in Hazel Green, Harvest, or anywhere else:
[Your Offer] = [ARV] − [Repair Cost] − [Selling Cost] − [Our Profit]
After Repair Value (ARV) — What your home would sell for fully updated
We research recent comparable sales in your specific community—not Huntsville averages. A 1,600 sq ft home in Harvest sells for a different price than the same size home in Meridianville or Gurley. We pull actual sold comps from within a few miles of your property to determine what it would sell for after all repairs and updates are complete.
Repair Costs — Actual contractor expenses using our local team
The actual costs using local Madison County contractors. This includes materials, labor, permits, and our time managing the renovation. We don’t inflate repair estimates to justify lower offers—we use the same contractors we’ve worked with for years and know exactly what things cost. Typical ranges: roof replacement ($7,000-$16,000), HVAC ($8,000-$14,000), foundation repair ($15,000-$50,000), septic replacement ($15,000-$25,000), kitchen remodel ($15,000-$35,000), bathroom updates ($6,000-$12,000 each).
Selling Costs (~10% of ARV) — What it costs us to resell
When we resell, we pay real estate agent commissions (6%), buyer’s closing costs (2%), and holding costs while the property is being renovated and marketed (2%). These are real expenses that come out of every deal.
Our Profit (~20% of ARV) — Covers risk, expertise, capital
This covers the risk we take (repair costs sometimes exceed estimates, markets can shift, properties can sit longer than expected), our expertise in managing renovations, and the capital we invest in purchasing and repairing your property. Rural Madison County properties often carry more risk than Huntsville city properties due to longer resale timelines and more complex repairs.
Example: 1,500 sq ft home in Harvest needing roof and HVAC:
- ARV (comparable Harvest sales): $200,000
- Repair costs: $35,000 (roof $12k, HVAC $10k, kitchen/bath $13k)
- Selling costs: $20,000 (10% of ARV)
- Our profit: $40,000 (20% of ARV)
- Your Cash Offer: $105,000
You receive $105,000 cash with zero repairs, zero fees, and close whenever you choose.
Compare to Traditional Sale: If you spent $35,000 on repairs and sold for $200,000 through an agent: repairs -$35,000, agent commission -$12,000 (6%), closing costs -$4,000, holding costs during 4-6 month repair/sale process -$3,000. Net to you: ~$146,000.
You’d net $41,000 more traditionally, but you’d spend 6+ months managing contractors, investing $35,000 upfront, dealing with showings, and risking a smaller buyer pool in Harvest causing the home to sit even longer. Our offer gives you certainty, speed, and zero hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions — Madison County Homeowners
Do you really buy houses in Hazel Green, Harvest, and these smaller communities?
Yes—and we have the receipts to prove it. We’ve purchased properties on Terry Lane and Ready Section Road in Hazel Green, on Doris Drive, Cloverbrook Drive, and Elmhurst Drive in Harvest, on Katie Drive in Toney, and throughout these communities. We buy in every Madison County zip code: 35748, 35749, 35750, 35756, 35757, 35759, 35760, 35761, 35763, 35773, and more.
How fast can you close on a property in these areas?
As fast as 7-10 days for urgent situations. We closed Perry’s Hazel Green home in 10 days and Dawn’s inherited Harvest property in 10 days. For standard purchases, 14-21 days is typical. We’re also completely flexible—if you need 60 or 90 days, we’ll wait. You control the timeline.
My house is on septic and well water. Will you still buy it?
Absolutely. Many properties in Toney, New Market, rural Hazel Green, and other unincorporated areas are on septic and well water. We purchase these regularly and understand the systems. Even if your septic is failing or your well needs a new pump, we buy as-is and handle repairs. These are exactly the types of properties that conventional buyers can’t finance—which is why sellers come to us.
Do I pay any fees or closing costs?
Zero. Our offer amount is the exact check you receive. We pay all title company fees, recording fees, transfer taxes, and closing costs. No commissions, no hidden deductions. Learn more about selling costs in Alabama.
I inherited a property in one of these communities. Can you help?
Yes. We’ve handled dozens of inherited property sales through Madison County Probate Court. We can often make you an offer before probate fully closes, and we coordinate with estate attorneys to keep the process smooth. You don’t need to clean out the house, make repairs, or even visit the property if you live out of state. Dawn’s inherited Harvest property (174 Doris Dr) is a perfect example—we handled everything. More about selling inherited property.
Are you licensed real estate professionals?
Yes. Brandon Hardiman is a licensed real estate agent in Alabama (License #000170383-1) and David Barnett is a licensed real estate broker (License #000110591-1). Both are brokered by Elevate RE LLC. We’re also A+ BBB rated with zero complaints, have 50+ verified Google reviews, and are members of the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber of Commerce.
My property is on a large lot or acreage. Can you still buy it?
Yes. We buy properties on any lot size throughout Madison County—from quarter-acre subdivision lots to multi-acre rural parcels. Properties on acreage are harder for conventional buyers to finance because appraisals are more complex, which is why many of our sellers come to us. We’ve purchased homes on 1-5+ acre lots in Toney, New Market, and rural Hazel Green.
What if I’m behind on mortgage payments?
That’s one of the most common situations we help with. We’ve stopped foreclosure for multiple Madison County homeowners—including Dontrell in Harvest (172 Cloverbrook Dr), Valarie in Harvest (109 Elmhurst Dr), and Perry in Hazel Green (212 Terry Ln). We can often close in 7-10 days, fast enough to pay off the bank before auction. Learn more about selling while behind on payments.

About These Madison County Communities
The communities on this page—Hazel Green, Harvest, Meridianville, Toney, Gurley, New Hope, Owens Cross Roads, Triana, New Market, and Moores Mill—are part of the greater Huntsville metro area in Madison County, Alabama. While they benefit from proximity to Huntsville’s booming economy (driven by Redstone Arsenal, NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, and Cummings Research Park), they maintain a more rural, small-town character with larger lots, agricultural land, and tight-knit neighborhoods.
Quick Facts:
- Madison County population: ~400,000 (Alabama’s 3rd most populous county)
- Major communities outside Huntsville/Madison: Hazel Green (~4,000), Harvest (~6,000), Meridianville (~8,000), plus Toney, Gurley, New Hope, Owens Cross Roads, Triana, New Market, Moores Mill
- Median home values vary significantly by community ($150,000-$280,000 depending on location and lot size)
- Many properties are unincorporated (under county jurisdiction, not city)
- Common property features: larger lots, septic systems, well water, rural character
- Growth driven by Huntsville metro expansion and defense/aerospace industry employment
Housing stock across these communities ranges from 1950s-1970s farmhouses and ranch-style homes to 1990s-2000s subdivisions built during the Huntsville growth boom to newer scattered-site construction. Many older properties need foundation work (Alabama clay soil), system replacements (HVAC, roof, plumbing, electrical), and modernization updates. Properties on septic and well water require additional maintenance that city-connected homes don’t.
Service Area Note: This page focuses on communities throughout Madison County outside Huntsville and Madison city limits. For properties within Huntsville city limits or Madison city limits, please see those pages. We also serve Decatur, Athens, Florence, and all of our service areas across Alabama.
