Any Opelika members here, or anyone familiar with the area? Auburn/Opelika area is also on my short list as well for retirement some day. I wouldn’t mind investing now if I found the right place. So, I know Opelika has some really nice areas and some really sketchy areas too. Give me some areas to look into please. Thanks

What’s your budget?
Do you want city limits, want county or don’t care?
Thoughts on HOA neighborhoods, want an HOA, hell no or don’t care?
Oh ya, with it being a retirement property, I assume you want master on the first floor or 1 story?
My wife and I have lived in Opelika 2.5years and have really enjoyed it.
We live right near Southern Union/Opelika High School.

Haven’t really determined budget yet. Depends on the area. The wife has turned into a neighborhood girl and I’m okay with that too. I don’t mind an HOA, depending on how they are ran. Of course you don’t know that until you start diving into it. My ideal place would be a house in a neighborhood with a golf course and a pool. I know there are some places like that down there that I’ve looked at but just not familiar enough with all the different areas.

There's some nice places getting built out Farmville Rd where it crosses Co Rd 188 and on westward......It's a straight shot on over to Lake Martin too....These are BIG lots with fancy houses on them on the outskirts of the city limits

Sounds like National Village(neighborhood within Robert Trent Jones) would be a good spot to start your looking.

Grand National, utilities and property taxes are cheaper in Opelika.

Don't tell anybody about Loachapoka. Freshman year at Auburn I was living way down Wire Road close to Loachapoka. Me and a friend of mine stopped in a gas station there in town and I noticed they had white clay for sale. My friend told me some people like to eat it. Y’all ever hear of this or was he pulling my leg?

But that has nothing to do with living in the area.

I lived in Loachapoka for a while when I first moved to south Alabama........Gold Hill would be another place to check out.....Nice area that's being annexed into the city limits.
