Dominated in the past by the cotton and railroad industries, Athens, AL today is part of the high-tech Huntsville metro area and a thoroughly modern city. While many residents commute to aerospace jobs in Huntsville, others are employed by the local Athens State University or manufacturing jobs. After work, they might enjoy the large parks system or fishing in Wheeler Lake. Every summer, the local “Grease Fest” is celebrated with toga-wearing residents indulging in any manner of fried foods.
Housing prices are a bit lower in Athens than they are in the rest of the country, but the population boom in the Huntsville area has driven up prices and shortened supplies. After your move to Athens, you might find yourself waiting for a property to open up or wanting more storage space.
If that happens to you, think about making self-storage part of your plans. In the Huntsville area in general and in Athens in particular, affordable self-storage units are available for short and long term leases. Vehicle storage is also available. Don’t let a lack of storage space be what holds up your Athens move.
