The new year will bring in some major changes to the local Huntsville Alabama MLS system in regards to searchable areas within Madison county.
The Current Area boundaries are indeed cumbersome and were primarily based on municipality borders which were constantly changing given Huntsville/Madison County’s growth and frequent rezoning moreover they were named geographically which does not match the common names used by locals.
Hubby tells me that there will likely be a few website issues with forms and maps during the change over and the entire database will likely have to be updated instead of just the daily changes nevertheless the impact will be minor and only be a day or 2 starting Jan 4, 2011.
The new Areas are defined by more natural boundaries that are somewhat easier to recognize and follow. The new Area boundaries are more static and are also designed to help the public when searching real estate on public websites. I personally like the move from geographic NW, SW, NE, etc to the more common area names used by us locals thus I think the names and boundaries are much better as illustrated in the following map:
