Why Buyers Choose Owens Cross Roads
Owens Cross Roads sits southeast of Huntsville at the intersection of Marshall and Madison Counties — a community that appeals to buyers who want space, value, and a more rural lifestyle.
The area has seen growing interest from buyers priced out of Madison or Hampton Cove, as well as remote workers and defense professionals who can tolerate a slightly longer commute for more home, more land, and a quieter setting. Several new construction communities have developed here in recent years.
- More space and larger lots than Huntsville proper
- Newer construction communities at competitive prices
- Semi-rural character with Huntsville metro access
- Located between Hampton Cove and Lake Guntersville corridor
- Lower price per square foot than Madison and much of Huntsville
- Growing area with improving infrastructure
- Attractive for buyers wanting a buffer from urban density
