National Village is in Opelika, a town outside of Auburn in eastern Alabama. Connor Brothers Construction broke ground on this master planned community in 2006. When complete, it should also have 1,400 single family homes, with about 1,500 acres of its 2,200 acres dedicated to golf fairways, lakes, and open space.
Four home collections with more than two dozen floor plans and a variety of architectural styles are located in seven separate villages. All residences offer single story living, have low-maintenance exteriors, and are built with energy efficient materials. Most have a carport or a garage. Living space ranges from 1,500 to 3,700 square feet. Granite countertops, hardwood floors, and gas fireplaces are a few of the many design features.
Prices begin in the high-$300,000s. The HOA fees are not disclosed. Please check with a Realtor for these prices.
Saugahatchee Lake is the heart of National Village, and 54 holes of golf called the Grand National Course are built around it. The Grand National Course is one of 11 courses that make up the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail.
Residents also have access to the Auburn-Opelika Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. This clubhouse has a business hub, heated indoor pool, and locker rooms. Three outdoor pools, private cabanas, fire pits, and courts for tennis or pickle ball surround the center. Small lakes and ponds dot the community.
Atlanta, Birmingham, and Montgomery are within easy reach, as are groceries and big box retail. The nearby Auburn University is home to the Gogue Performing Arts Center.

Alabama:
The Heart of Dixie was admitted to the Union on December 14, 1819. The Cotton State was a major player in both the American Civil War and the American Civil Rights Movement. Montgomery was once the capital of the Confederacy and also the heart of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Its current economy is fed by agriculture, auto production, and aerospace. Only Arkansas and Georgia produce more broiler chickens. Alabamians built the Apollo 11 rocket and helped land the first human on the moon.
Bordered by Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and the Gulf of Mexico, Alabama covers 52,423 square miles of land and water. Topography ranges from mountains and plateaus to river valleys, lowlands, and coastal plains. Average rainfall is 56 inches per year. Growing seasons can be long and summers hot. Winters are normally mild.
Mobile, Alabama has the oldest Mardi Gras celebration in the United States. Nicholas Langlois introduced Carnival to the city in 1703, fifteen years before New Orleans was founded.
Why Choose a 55+ Community?
Most people who choose to live in a 55+ development are looking for a sense of community with other people of similar backgrounds. Many of these developments are gated and guarded, adding to a sense of security. Often the homes are low maintenance or "lock and leave," giving owners the freedom to do things other than mow the lawn, shovel the snow or replace the roof. The biggest draw is often the amenities, ranging from lavish clubhouses to activity directors and championship golf courses, making some developments akin to country club living (or summer camp for adults). While 55+ communities are not for everyone, they continue to be a popular choice for many people.
