Bridging the gap between city + country

Memorial Village sits within a unique section of South Huntsville. It is smack-dab in-between a densely-populated downtown area and the sprawling southern Huntsville countryside—which is just what Emily and Ana wanted.

With Ana being from Guntersville and Emily from New Hope, the women sought homes with a short work commute while offering a countryside ambiance and proximity to their families.

Where they live now occupies this space perfectly:

“I knew that we never wanted to live in the city, but I really don’t feel like we live in the city here because it’s very quiet. We come from living out in the country, where the closest house is probably about a mile.”

A community you can call home

Emily and her fiancé (Ana’s brother) relocated to Memorial Village first not just for its amazing location. Memorial Village offers great amenities such as a spacious dog park, gorgeous open-floor design and a management team that goes above and beyond for their residents.

They quickly felt at home and got a referral bonus when Ana and her husband moved next door soon after. Ana came to Memorial Village with only a month to find a new place to live, and the staff helped her move in quickly and seamlessly.

Memorial Village also offers beautiful views of South Huntsville, with plenty of walking and running trails nearby that Ana and Emily frequent with their weenie dog and two labs:

“They have a dog park, which is really nice. I see a lot of people walking their dogs here! There is also a trail close by at Hobbs Island that we can take our dogs to.”
