About Saks
Sitting just northwest of Anniston in Calhoun County, Saks is a relaxed residential community of roughly 10,000 people in northeast Alabama. The area traces its roots back to the late 1940s, when the Saks family donated land to build the area's first school campus and helped shape the growing suburb. Today, it offers an approachable, small-town atmosphere with quiet neighborhoods tucked into the nearby foothills.
The local schools remain a major anchor for the community, with Saks Elementary, Middle, and High School all located close together. Saks Road functions as the main commercial strip, offering a mix of homegrown businesses, dining spots, and everyday services. Commuting is simple, with quick access to downtown Anniston, Oxford's shopping and dining districts, and Interstate 20 for trips to Birmingham or Atlanta.
