Madison County Reviews
Rating 3.87 out of 5 148 reviews
I like Madison, the only thing I would change is when they do construction. I love that they are constantly trying to improve the pavement of the roads and getting stuff remodeled. I just would rather them do that not in rush hour or when all of us are on our way to school early in the morning. I also think its pretty cool how even though we all come different parts we all can come together when the county is in danger. When the tornadoes came through I feel like I really saw the definition of southern hospitality. Everyone in the county came together and helped those who's houses got destroyed. Its was truly a beautiful thing to see. I enjoy my little county even if we are a little country.
So I've lived here for almost eight years and it's definitely better than I thought it would be. The people are pretty nice and they come off as warm and caring. Rent here is through the roof though, but where I am it's a safe area so I can't complain too much. There's not much to do at night, though I'm a homebody so it doesn't matter to me. They have different events throughout the year for the community to take part in, so that's always nice. Commute isn't too bad either. Almost anywhere I want to go is within 20 minutes of where I live. It's nice here. I'd recommend it to a friend.
Madison County has many different opportunities for the expanding job field. The close location to Redstone Arsenal causes a wealth of new job opportunities. While there are many opportunities for jobs, the housing market has recently skyrocketed as a result. The schools in the area are rated highly and the people are all very friendly.
