Grand Pointe in Northport, AL

1/13/2020


     

Grand Pointe is a beautiful neighborhood located just north of Tuscaloosa County High School near U.S. Highway 43. It is a large neighborhood as the development is 286 acres. It has approximately 337 homes in the neighborhood with that number expected to approach 400 by the end of 2020. It is located inside the city limits of Northport so homes receive water, sewer, garbage and recycling services from the city of Northport along with service from the City of Northport Police and Fire Departments. Homes in Grand Pointe are zoned for Northport Elementary (Pre-K - 2), Huntington Elementary (3-5), Echols Middle (6-8), and Tuscaloosa County High School (9-12). Amenities include a neighborhood pool (located on Shade Tree Lane) and security cameras at all four entrances to the subdivision. The original master plan for Grand Pointe included a community clubhouse, playground and community park but as of now, only the community pool has been constructed. Grand Pointe features large estates down to garden homes. Plans for a higher-end apartment complex called Beacon Place Northport featuring twenty-two one-story buildings (each containing six units, all with their own garage) have been proposed as part of the site plan for Phase 8 of Grand Pointe.
   

What is MLS?

1/13/2020


Maybe you've heard some real estate jargon thrown around about something called the MLS and wondered what it is. I get asked all the time about what it stands for, and more importantly, what it does.

The MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service. Its an online platform that agents use to enter properties for sale and share details about a home or property. The biggest benefit of the MLS is that it's the most accurate database for local housing information, and therefore is used by many active agents and brokers. And because it's used by so many agents, about 92% of homes entered in the MLS are sold.

It's been proven to be a useful tool for decades now, and it's why we love using it so much. If you ever need any help with getting your home listed, I'll be happy to help you out!

What is a SMART HOME?

1/12/2020


A smart home is just a modern home that can have appliances, lighting and electronic devices that can be controlled remotely by the homeowner often via an app on a mobile device. Examples include Nest thermostats which control heating and air conditioning units and ring doorbells that give real-time notifications when someone rings your doorbell. Smart home devices can help control cost and be more energy efficient while providing added convenience and possible time savings.

Located in Downtown Northport, The Historic Northport Train Depot and Museum offers a glimpse back into time and a fun afternoon with the family.

  

 

Historic Northport Train Depot 
We loved taking our little one to the Historic Northport train depot and model train exhibit this past weekend! It is open to the public for free on Saturday's from 10am to 1pm and is located at 803 25th Ave, Northport, AL 35476. My son loved going inside the red caboose train car and climbing all over the exterior. He also enjoyed seeing the model railroad museum located inside the former GM&O Railway Station. It was a short and sweet little family outing before lunch and his afternoon nap. Check it out if you have time! Children will especially love it.
