Today, I was assisting a couple from Florida who want to escape the taxes and insurance. They are looking to retire in the next few years and have chosen Huntsville as their new home.

We were discussing what makes Huntsville such a good place to live. Here is what they said.

1) A clean city. Huntsville does have some old run down buildings and a few spots needing some attention, but overall it is really clean.

2) Nature: Huntsville and the surrounding areas are just so natural. Clean clear air is important to the quality of life.

3) Family Friendly: The family is still at the heart of this area. The family is very important to our community.

4) Churches: There are churches everywhere. People here aspire to be ethical and moral.

5) Friendly and helpful: While we were looking at homes yesterday we had someone stop on the road and ask if we were loat. Assisting others and being hospitable is still part of the fabric of our community.

6) Low taxes: We are not being beat to death with taxes and insurance as other distressed areas of the country.

7) Huntsville Alabama Real Estate: Huntsville Homes are still affordable.
