Sales have been steady over the last few months, and some areas are selling exceptionally well right now. Here is a brief overview of the hottest subdivisions in the Dothan real estate market right now. Click on the neighborhood name for a map of homes for sale in that area.

Cloverdale

Cloverdale is really more of a neighborhood than just one particular subdivision. Located in southeast Dothan, Cloverdale area homes sold recently have been priced from $69,900 up to $139,000, making it a great area for affordable housing.

Deer Valley

Deer Valley is located in extreme northwest Dothan, but is only minutes from lots of shopping and several schools. This subdivision is not that old, as the first home built here was in the late 90’s. A new phase recently opened up, but of the eleven homes recently sold, half were resale. Prices ranged from $127,900 to $189,400.

Grove Park

Always a popular neighborhood because of its unique style, there were eight homes sold in Grove Park over the past few months. Prices ranged from $182,000 for a small garden home up to $329,900 for a larger home. There are a very high number of homes for sale in Grove Park right now, which helps explain the high number of sales.

Pine Lake

All new construction homes in a brand new subdivision located in southwest Dothan. It is good to see new construction selling, and this neighborhood has been one of the hottest. Prices ranged from $154,900 up to $195,900. Unfortunately, Pine Lake is so new that it hasn’t been mapped by Google yet. If you would like a list of homes for sale in Pine Lake, just drop me an email at charles(at)dothanhomesearch(dot)com.

Here is a summary of action taken at the May 21st meeting of the Dothan Planning Commission.

• Development plans were approved for a new Walgreens, to be built on the southeast corner of Montgomery Hwy and Westgate Parkway.
• 20+ acres adjacent to the Westgate Industrial Park was recommended to be rezoned to M-2 District, which would open it up for industrial development
• Recommended rezoning of 71+ acres on Woodham Road from agricultural to R-85-S, which is a residential zoning. Preliminary plans for Clearman Downs subdivision on this site were approved pending rezoning. Clearman Downs will consist of 171 lots and two parks totaling 2.5 acres.
• A couple of commercial buildings/centers were approved, one in the 2200 block of Hartford Highway and another in the 3000 block of Columbia Highway.

The past few months have been very light on activity brought in front of the commission. If memory serves, the Clearman Downs development is only the second new residential subdivision approved this year.

Cottonwood High School was recently added to U.S. News and World Reports list of the nation’s best high schools. Out of more than 18,000 high schools, U.S. News picks the top 100 for Gold Medals, the next 405 were picked for Silver Medals, and another thousand or so were picked for the Bronze Medal. Cottonwood is one of 31 Alabama high schools to make the list, and the only one in Houston County.

As an alumni of Cottonwood, I am proud of this achievement. Cottonwood doesn’t get the attention some other county schools get, so this piece of good news will hopefully go a long way toward changing that. Congratulations to the faculty and staff of Cottonwood High School!
