Planned Communities and Luxurious Homes in Hoover Alabama

By Hubert Miles

Birmingham is located in north central Alabama. This large metro area has many suburbs. Hoover is the largest suburb and has many options for upscale homes and planned communities. The Hoover area has a population of about 73,000 people as of the most recent census data. The area is forecasted to continue to grow over for many years to come.

The Hoover area offers a beautiful landscape of the Appalachian Mountains which has fueled the growth of planned private and gated communities. Many of the neighborhoods feature golf courses and rolling hillside landscapes.

The median home price in Hoover is estimated to be approximately $248.000 in October 2009. This median price is up from the $176,400 median price in 2000. The October 2009 number is down from recent pre-recession prices of $363,800. Many experts agree that as the economy continues to improve, median home prices will continue to rise over the next few years.

One of the premier luxury home and resort communities in Hoover is The Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa. The community features luxury homes priced from $240,000 to over $1,000,000, town homes from around $220,000 to $260,000, and condos from $169,900.

The golf course at Ross Bridge has an 8,191 yard golf course that is the home of the Regions Charity Classic on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. The New York Times said the course was "some of the best public golf on Earth." The Hoover Birmingham area offers many entertainment, dining, shopping, and cultural activities.
