I live in Auburn. Suggest the Shelton Park area of Auburn or try Opelika. There are some small but nice homes going up on the Opelika side of the airport. So many of the new subdivisions are very pricey even with the market like it is right now. Also, folks are renting homes they can't sell. You might check with your real estate agent for one of those or just check with the Opelika-Auburn Newspaper in the classifieds. Good luck!

Look at houses in Opelika and southeastern Lee county. This would put you geographically centered between the Auburn/Opelika and the Columbus/Phenix City areas. The commute is easy in both directions.

Wow, Auburn. I would move to this town in a minute and leave Maryland in the dust...

I would check the Apartment Finder as most here have recommended and also Crossland Downs (I belive is the name). They have condos out by the Vet School (one of the best in the US by the way) and most are working residents, upper status grad students, etc. Sure you will have a few regular college students, but in a college town you have them all over. However this is far enough "out" that it is not walking distance to campus.

My daughter left Maryland 3 years ago to attend AU and is working on her PhD. She loves it, and only comes back here to visit. In fact, we are down in Auburn more than she comes north.

The people are so friendly (probably all over Alabama and the south), the city has not been run over by a metropolitan area, housing is very, very reasonable and you MUST visit **** of The Walk and Provinos for dinner!!
I sure do miss these places...
Now, where did I put my resume!!

Good luck in your move and you will love AU!
