About Owens Cross Roads

Tucked into a scenic valley between Green Mountain and Keel Mountain, Owens Cross Roads offers a quiet, small-town feel just southeast of Huntsville. With around 3,000 residents, the community has grown steadily as more newcomers look for scenic views and extra breathing room. Highway 431 runs straight through town, making it easy to enjoy peaceful mountain surroundings alongside quick access to the Flint River for fishing and paddling.

OCRPublicSafety

Families are drawn here for the welcoming neighborhoods and highly rated Madison County schools, including the local elementary school right in town. Day-to-day shopping and local dining sit along the main highway, while a 15-minute drive over the mountain puts you in downtown Huntsville or the Jones Valley shopping area. It is a great home base for anyone working in Huntsville or at Redstone Arsenal who wants to come home to mountain views and easy weekend trips to Lake Guntersville.
