Meridianville
The Census Bureau counted 8,209 people in Meridianville in 2020, with 3,150 housing units. The American Community Survey (ACS) 2020-2024 estimate is larger: 11,150 people and 4,187 housing units. Both ACS figures carry margins of error (1,082 people and 391 units), so treat them as estimates of a growing place.
The ACS reports that 3,652 of 3,950 occupied homes are owner-occupied, about 92.5% by our calculation from the official counts. The median value of an owner-occupied home is $291,900 (margin of error $12,338) and the median year built is 2007. Those are survey estimates for the whole community, not a value for any one home.

Hazel Green
Hazel Green is also a census-designated place in Madison County. The 2020 Census counted 4,105 people and 1,656 housing units. The ACS 2020-2024 estimate is 3,940 people (margin of error 591) and 1,540 housing units (margin of error 175).
About 87.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (1,186 of 1,355). The ACS median value is $230,800 (margin of error $16,448) and the median year built is 1991. The Tillman D. Hill Public Library of Hazel Green is at 131 Knowledge Drive, Hazel Green, AL 35750. Is listed by the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library.
New Market
New Market is the smallest of the three. The 2020 Census counted 1,543 people and 670 housing units. The ACS 2020-2024 estimate is 1,314 people (margin of error 440) and 622 housing units (margin of error 223). About 86.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (502 of 578). The median year built is 1992, with a margin of error of 8 years.
The ACS median home value for New Market has a margin of error larger than half the figure itself, because the sample is small, so it is left out here. Ask for the sold prices for a specific street instead.
What homes cost in this area
No source gives a price for any of these three communities alone. ACRE, the Alabama Center for Real Estate, reported for the Huntsville area in July 2026 a median sales price of $349,000, 759 closed sales and 43 days on market. That is an area-wide figure, not a value for any one home. The Huntsville area report does not break out these communities. For a comparison with the city to the south, read the Huntsville guide and the cost of living post.
Schools
Which district serves an address depends on its tax district. Madison City Schools explains on its school zones page that Madison County Schools covers tax district 01, Huntsville City Schools covers 02 and Madison City Schools covers 05. Madison County Schools directs families to the City of Huntsville interactive map (filter by School, then Madison County School Zones) and to its Infofinder address lookup, which it marks as for reference only.
Confirm the assigned school for an address with the district before you rely on it. The Alabama State Department of Education publishes report cards at reportcard.alsde.edu.
Getting to Redstone Arsenal
No official source gives drive times from these communities and none names the nearest gate. The Garrison lists the gate roads: Rideout Road (Gate 9), Martin Road (Gates 1 and 7), Redstone Road (Gate 3), Goss Road (Gate 8) and Patton Road (Gate 10). Gate hours change. A notice posted October 26, 2026 extended hours at Gates 1, 3 and 7, so confirm them with the Garrison. Then drive the route from the address you are considering at the hour you would travel. The Redstone Arsenal relocation guide covers the gates in more detail.
Parks, libraries and local services
The county site that lists parks returned an error when we tried it, so this guide does not name county parks. Hazel Green has its library branch. No branch was found in New Market. Utility providers also depend on the address and were not confirmed, so ask the seller or the provider.
Property tax goes through Madison County. Alabama’s Department of Revenue lists a homestead exemption for an owner-occupied single-family home used as a primary residence. The Madison County Tax Assessor handles applications. This is general information, not tax advice. See first-time home buyers in Huntsville for programs. The communities page to compare other areas.
Settling in after the move
Alabama’s Department of Revenue says the owner of a non-commercial vehicle with a valid registration from another jurisdiction has 30 days from the date the vehicle enters the state to register it, through the local license office. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency says an out-of-state driver license must be transferred at an ALEA office, with a $5 transfer fee and $36.25 to purchase the license (no checks). The Department of Revenue also lists military retirement pay among income exempt from Alabama income tax. That is general information, so confirm your own situation with the official source or a tax professional.
Huntsville International Airport is run by the Port of Huntsville and lists non-stop flights to 18 cities. The Redstone Arsenal newcomers page lists the Pershing Welcome Center and the One Stop for families arriving on orders. The moving to Alabama checklist puts the steps in order.
