Andover Apartments for Rent

Andover is a neighborhood in Madison, a western suburb of Huntsville, Alabama. This community is roughly 20 minutes northwest of the heart of downtown Huntsville. It is south of Capshaw Road, west of Nance Road, and east of the Claytons Cove neighborhood. The zip code for Andover is 35757, and it is within Madison County.

Andover is one of Madison’s newer communities. Nearly four dozen home sites are planned here, but the neighborhood is still undergoing construction. Currently, fewer than one dozen homes have been completed. The immediate area doesn’t offer much in the way of amenities or attractions, but as the residential areas grow, the commercial offerings will surely follow. There are, however, some fairly close shopping and dining options to be found a few miles to the south, along U.S. Highway 72/State Highway 2.

For more to see and do, Andover residents hop on the highway and head southeast toward the downtown Huntsville area. Along the way are several prominent shopping centers, including Westside Centre and Madison Square Mall Shopping Center. The mall is anchored by a Sears, Belk, J.C.Penney’s, and Dillard’s, and the shopping options are rounded out with a variety of specialty stores. The mall also hosts a movie theater and several dining options.

Also on the way to the downtown area are several higher education options. Along the way into Madison, you’ll find Oakwood University, Calhoun State Community College, and the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Just south of what could be considered the city’s “University District” is the Redstone Army Airfield and Arsenal, which also includes the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. The Huntsville International – Carl T. Jones Field can also be found here.
