Review of Huntsville, Alabama


Average Southern City
Star Rating - 2/2/2015
Huntsville, AL is a mid-sized city in north-central Alabama. It has a great economy/job market. The weather consists of hot, humid summers and mild, grey, wet winters. There are 2 minor league sports teams (just lost baseball in 2014) and several small college sports teams. There are lot's of things to do here if you know where to look. Nashville, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Gatlinburg, Gulf Coast and Savannah are all weekend destination cities within a 2-7 hour drive. However, after living here since 2000 I am bored with this city and looking for a change after my daughter graduates high school in 2017. It's a great place to raise a family, get a college education and build a strong career but I wouldn't want to live here forever.

What would you say to someone contemplating a career move, in the field of education, to Huntsville? The weather is a non-issue since I love even further south, but it's time for a change.
