Hi JUL, I was born and raised most of my life here in Huntsville. I live south of Hunstville now, but I do work in the city. The historic area is 5 Points. My sister lives in that area of town. There are alot of Historical Homes there. It is a very nice part of town. We call it the "old money" part of the town if you know what I mean. Definetly tree lined and close to amentities. I think it sounds like just what you are looking for. What company did your husband apply with? Good luck to him, I hope he gets the job. Huntsville is not to big, not too small. The perfect city if you ask me. I think TEBO could chime in here as well, as he also lives in Huntsville. Feel free to PM me any questions you might have. Will keep my fingers crossed for the job to come through!!!!!!
