A weekend in Huntsville, Alabama - Travel Guide

Is Huntsville, Alabama a good place to live? According to the US News and The World Reporter, Huntsville was the best city to move to in 2022. Could it really be that great? I wanted to see for myself so we took a trip out there to get a feel for living in Huntsville.

My wife and I moved to Huntsville a year ago. We both grew up in Memphis and over the years have watched our home town turn into a war zone. We now call Huntsville home and it feels just like Memphis did in the 70's when it was a great place to live. Friendly people everywhere of all races and nationalities. We absolutely love it here because we can actually go anywhere and feel safe to do whatever we want. We haven't had that feeling of complete freedom for decades. I even convinced my oldest son to move here before he has any children so he can raise them here instead of Memphis. We feel very lucky to have found this place. Excellent video and thanks.

What a great video of our wonderful hometown! You barely scratched the surface! Huntsville truly is a great gem here in the southeast!

This made me homesick for my hometown...and I live here!

It’s a great place to call home . It does get really hot and almost unbearable in July and August 🥵 but it’s large enough to have everything you need and small enough to know a lot of people that you grew up with. It’s two hours from Nashville and Chattanooga, four hours from Atlanta, five hours from the gulf coast, and the Smokey Mountains.

Great video. I actually live in Huntsville and loved this video. My whole family is buried in Maple Hill cemetery. Loved this video, thanks.

Thank you for coming to our town and give it a positive review. If you ever decide to live here, let’s have a drink. My treat

Huntsville is about the proximity of city convenience and nature.

I like living here. It has generally only gotten better over time as a place to live, with all the problems that come with that (higher rent/more traffic). I plan to stay here while we have kids and through the early years of my first kid. But Huntsville has a problem- it's in Alabama. Once my first kid reaches school age, I am out of here. Growing up here, even the best schools in the area honestly suck compared to schools in bigger cities. Not just that, but do you have a kid that wants to compete in literally anything? Good luck driving 2-4 hours each direction to literally every competition. So yeah, if you don't have school aged kids, Huntsville is great and I plan to stay here a while. But once I have school aged kids, I'm out

Huntsville isn't a small city, it's bigger then the capital Birmingham, I work in Huntsville, and getting bigger, it's army base is almost 39, 000k acres

Your video showed up as a recommended watch. My husband and I watched it.

You glamorize Huntsville, which is fine btw, but you added that Huntsville is focused on the long term, not the right now.

So I’m curious why you never mentioned Bridgestreet, parkwayplace, any of the universities, or town madison (yes rocket city trash pandas!!!! Let’s go!!!)

I understand that you’re a tourist and just visiting but…

This video is not the flex you think it is. Like the trash pandas stadium are in Madison and not Huntsville but it’s not that crazy of a drive either to disregard it.

Also not living for you calling the havocs minor league. They’re still a pro hockey team. In fact THE hockey team of the south (or something like that)

Now I’m actually getting mad bc our university’s hockey team got removed when the teams disbanded and then rebanded without us (bc i”t was troublesome to drive so far south” as my uni teachers said)

Still can’t believe you didn’t actually do the barcade… well, it doesn’t matter anyway, but it’s still weird how u mention all these trendy places and then say Huntsville is about the future and never mention the arsenal or any of the colleges here 💀

But I guess the places you mentioned great for like a weekend trip

Please stop moving here!!!
Our infrastructure is for a small city. It can't handle the surge of growth it's suffered over just the past five years.
Yes, Huntsville is awesome. Please stay away so it can stay awesome.

Our traffic is horrific.
There aren't enough doctors.
The water rate just went up THIRTY FIVE percent to pay for the new pipes.
Rent prices are astronomical.
We have 9 Walmarts and they're all packed with people at any given time.
There's no time to eat at lunchtime. Lunch hour is over by the time you get your food.
Please, just stay away for 20 years so we can adjust.

You should really check with lifetime natives. You are wrong about the noises, about the crime, and about it being the best place to live. It's full of crime, and I'll take my woods any day! It is beautiful though ❤
