Hueytown Apartment Renter's Guide
Hueytown Apartment Renter's Guide
Overview
Home to NASCAR greats, The Alabama Gang, Hueytown, AL, was once humming from more than a NASCAR driver's tires. In the early 1990s, there was a mysterious hum -- likely related to a large ventilation fan in an underground mine once in the area. It hasn't been heard since.
Both agriculture and industry formed the backbone of Hueytown, AL: a nice, quaint country town

Both agriculture and industry formed the backbone of Hueytown, AL: a nice, quaint country town. The Woodward Iron Co. was formed here in 1881 and had a daily capacity of 250,000 tons of iron in 1909. But steel mills are part of the town's history, not its present. The last blast furnace closed in 1973. There was coal mining, too, at the turn of the century, which is another industry that is no longer part of the community. Left behind were several historic buildings from the mining era that are fascinating to explore, if you like that sort of thing.
Moving to Hueytown
Hueytown has many 3 bedroom houses for rent, duplexes for rent, and even month to month rentals available in this community of just over 16,000 residents, per the 2010 U.S. Census. However, you should give yourself about a month to find the home that suits you best. Walk the streets, enjoy a meal in a downtown Hueytown restaurant, and read the local paper to find the right neighborhood for you.
Neighborhoods
City Center: You'll find shops and restaurants conveniently centrally located in this suburban area. A solid mix of owners and renters reside in properties built between 1940 and 1999. You'll find vacancies fairly easily here.
Virginia: Rentals may be a bit more difficult to come by in this community. This suburban part of town consists primarily of single family homes, has many tree lined streets and is home to Martin Lake and Jug Hollow Lake where you can do some strolling or fishing.
Living in Hueytown
One of the main streets in Hueytown, Allison-Bonnett Memorial Drive, derives its name from a combination of The Alabama Gang drivers' last names. The Alabama Gang was the notorious NASCAR team who called Hueytown their home. They were attracted to Hueytown, not because of other racing greats who might have called this town home, but because of all the small dirt tracks there in the 1960s and 1970s. But maybe this legacy is the reason Hueytown was selected as BMW Motorsport's North American operational base back in 1975, which is pretty impressive.
Not into racing? You don't have to be to enjoy rental properties in Hueytown. There's a strong community spirit here. The town slogan stresses pride, patriotism and progress. That spirit includes strong sports programs including Dixie Youth Baseball. Several local players have impressively headed to the Major Leagues. There's nothing like a baseball game at the towns Bud Newell Park. The swim club and youth football are also big community activities. An annual 5K/10K race and a Miss Hueytown Contest are other fun events held in town.
