Green Mountain has peaceful, secluded living
Custom homes and peaceful Appalachian living draw buyers to Green Mountain. Settled on the mountaintop and part of the valley below, this community is quickly developing in Huntsville's outskirts. Even with this development, the area retains a sense of tranquility due to its proximity to thick pine forests and open valleys. "The biggest drive for buyers is being on or close to the mountain," says Realtor Grace Dollarhide with Woodland Homes. "There's one of the city's nature trails and a preserve that makes it feel secluded." The neighborhood is close to major thoroughfares connecting downtown Huntsville and Redstone Arsenal, one of the area's major employers. There's an increasing amount of updated or newly constructed homes, in addition to open lots for a custom home build. And Dollarhide notes that these lots are highly desirable. "It's great because I can always sell now, and buyers can build later, so you can come up to the mountain when you're ready."
Mountaintop luxury homes and valley suburbs
Green Mountain offers a variety of housing options, including subdivisions and multi-family communities in the valley and luxury communities on the mountain. It's an increasingly desirable area for Huntsville buyers seeking to live outside the city. In the valley, clusters of homes were built between the mid-20th century and early 21st century, including ranch-style, New Traditional, split levels and townhouses. Homes here are usually priced between $300,000 and $525,000. The mountain has more recent construction, featuring millennial mansions, modern farmhouses and large New Traditional homes. Prices start between $700,000 and $900,000 and peak at around $1 million or $2 million. Lots for custom builds are quickly becoming a popular option, usually priced between $125,000 and $150,000 for a slice of mountain. "Everyone who builds on the mountain becomes a member of the Lodge, which has a gym, pool, tennis courts and a community area."
Millennial Mansions can be found high up on the ridges of Green Mountain.
Beautiful Colonial Revivals can be found sprinkled throughout Camelot.

Green Mountain's rivers, mountains and trails
Most residents aren't just close to nature; they're immersed in nature. Like the Madison County Nature Trail, hiking paths meander across the pine and oak forests that give the mountain its name. The path encircles a lake with picnic areas, a fishing pier and a kayak launch. Blevins Gap is another hiking area, with trails leading to a scenic overlook of Huntsville. Nearby, the Tennessee River Greenway has a walking and biking path along the river, with a fishing pier and boat launch area. McGucken Park offers a place for residents to gather. There are athletic fields, facilities for Little League games and a large playground for the community's kiddos.
