Outside of Auburn, Alabama’s bustling college environment is a small town with a quiet atmosphere, friendly faces, and a tight knit community. Opelika, Alabama is home to 35,000 people, and as this community has grown, so has the demand for a plethora of homes to be constructed to accommodate for residents.

The Benefits of a New Home in Opelika

  • Slower Pace of Life: As people make the transition to small town living, they’re often reminded of how simple life can be. Upon getting settled into your new home, whether it’s an old build or a new construction from Holland Homes, taking time to relax and acclimate to the area proves beneficial for the whole family. The transition to a smaller community can often be shocking (in a good way), so easing into your new lifestyle can help you adjust in due time. 
  • Stronger Sense of Community: As homeowners make the transition from one area to another, it is important to select a location where you feel a strong sense of community. Our Opelika communities such as Fox Run Village and Firefly are perfect for establishing that sense of community at any age. From varying amenities, to close proximity to town, you’re sure to have activities to do daily both inside of your neighborhood community and out. 
  • Excellent School Systems: Opelika’s quant atmosphere makes for a strong educational foundation. With a variety of excellent public schools to choose from, you will be located just a short drive away from schools for all ages in our Opelika residence neighborhoods. 
  • Local Shopping: Living in a small town means shopping small and supporting the local economy. With a variety of stores downtown and various others scattered throughout, there is sure to be a new store that will catch your eye. 
  • Staying Outdoors: Opelika truly is the best of both worlds. After a day of shopping and exploring downtown, there are a variety of parks, including Chewacla State Park that encourages you to stay outside.
