    "I am retired so no commute. Huntsville is the closest city with decent paying jobs. There are no sidewalks in a large part of this city. The traffic on my street is so heavy, it is dangerous to even cross the street certain times of the day."

    "The Hydroplane (boat) races are held on the lake in front of our house. They fence off the spectator section and we have to walk a half mile to an entrance to see exhibits, food trucks etc. We are old and it was too hot for us to walk that far. We did have a great spot in the front yard to see the races."

    "I live out of state, but my family lives right down the street. As a frequent visitor, I can say that Guntersville is a lovely city, filled with lots of outdoor recreational opportunities, as well as cultural offerings (ie The Whole Back Stage). Huntsville and Birmingham are each less than 45 minutes away. I'm actually looking into moving from Baton Rouge, LA to be closer to my family. "

    "This street is one of the BEST in town. RIght next to The Whole Back Stage, walking distance to the museum and the library~! VERY safe area for children, pets. Plus, it is close to shopping in every direction and the walking trails. This house has a full basement that has another full bath as well. Sun room has a partial lake view. Very surprised it is appraised so low. The house next door is for sale so I hope this helps to sell it. "
