Surprise in Alabama - 6/22/2006
Hoover, Alabama has a wide range of home buying opportunities. A huge plus is the up and coming TND community at The Preserve. The homes in this quaint neighborhood remind the visitor of a current day "Mayberry", where neighbors wave to each other from the porch, children play together in the parks, and friends, who ARE neighbors, plan week end picnics together in the parks. Homes depict classic American architecture that is found in the east/southeast from about 1750-1920. No "cookie cutter" homes or "clear cutting" of trees here, just beautifully designed homes that look like they have been here for over 100 years, but with great appointments on the inside!
Prices currently range from upper $300,000's to $900,000's. There is a retail area planned for the near future that will include business space on the main level with living space above. Schools (elementary and middle)are in walking distance, with bus service to Hoover High School. More info about Hoover, is available at

Hoover Standard of Living - 8/17/2005
Good municipal facilities (City Recreation Center, great library, good police and fire protection).
Good schools (especially for Alabama).
Traffic is heavy at times around retail centers.
Good neighborhoods, but approaching too much suburban sprawl.
Housing prices are rising, which is good if you already own a home, bad if you're looking to buy one.
Close enough to medium sized city (Birmingham, 10 miles) and large city (Atlanta, 150 miles) for cultural influences, and still close to country/rural areas for recreation. Beautifil beaches of the gulf coast are about a 4-hour drive away, but plenty of lakes and rivers.
Nice place to
