The area north of Huntsville is growing rapidly, drawing newcomers to several unincorporated communities that provide open space for aggressive development of subdivisions and beautiful new homes.  Hazel Green is located along the major thoroughfare of Highway 231/431.  Those who appreciate the friendly and intimate atmosphere of a smaller town in close proximity to cosmopolitan amenities and attractions are finding the ideal home in this bedroom community.  Monte Sano State Park, the Huntsville cultural community, first-rate shopping, family attractions, leading healthcare centers, colleges and universities, and wonderful museums and historic sites are all close to home.  Most residents are commuters who enjoy returning each day to a country atmosphere where twinkling stars are not dimmed by the glow of city lights and the sound of traffic is replaced by the chirp of morning birds and evening crickets.
