Huntsville TX Real Estate--True Value for your Dollar

Huntsville TX is a town of 35,000 about an hour north of Houston on I-45.  It was founded in 1835 and was the home of Sam Houston.  (We have the statue to prove it)

This is quite the imposing vista travelling north or south on I-45 in Huntsville.  At night, it looks as though he is glowing in the dark. (no extra charge)

My husband and I used to live on the outskirts of Ft Worth.  Don't get me wrong --I loved Ft Worth and all it had to offer.  What I love about Huntsville, though is that life here is simple.  It's simpler.  Life is just simpler.  It takes just a few minutes to get to the grocery store or to the mall.  Now, the mall isn't a big mall, mind you, but it has the necessities.  We are nestled here in the middle of Sam Houston National forest.  The air is easier to breathe, traffic jams consist of less than 50 cars, and the police blotter doesn't read like an episode of CSI.

I am sitting on the porch just "a settin'and bloggin'."  What do I hear? the faint sounds of neighbors in the distance talking to each other--not arguing, just talking.  During long power outages - you know the kind that come with hurricanes, people actually stretch extension cords across the street to share generator power, etc.  Well, shoot, we even had a neighbor checking on us during the aftermath of Hurricane Ike asking us if we had "plenty of guns."  Don't ask--this is Texas--and it was mighty neighborly. 

Real Estate?  Glad you asked.  You can get quite a lot for your money here.  Take for example this house I recently sold in Forest Hills in Huntsville TX.

Very nice home with a gorgeous updated kitchen.  2675 sq ft, built in 1974, sold for $165,900.00  That's 62.02/sq ft.  Wow, I told you, lots of value for your dollar.

Many people choose to live here and commute to Houston for work.  It's about an hour.  Once your home, life is simpler, many fewer hassles in daily life.  I enjoy my family, my business, and my town, Huntsville TX.
