this year , with all spots to be filled by August . This sort of ebb and flow of the market is more common in areas such as Huntsville , which feature students moving to the area to attend college , TDCJ workers looking for a place to call home and longterm residents looking to settle and not worry about the upkeep that comes with a house . Martinez explained that some of his residents that have moved into West Hill have chosen to settle there because of the convenience that comes with apartment living .
The average home value in Huntsville , according to Zillow , is nearly $ 205,000 , while West Hill Apartments offers units and all of its amenities with rent ranging from $ 975 to nearly $ 1,300 for larger units .
“ I think a lot of people are moving into the apartment community just because of the fact that the upkeep that comes with having a mortgage , having to do the upkeep of your landscape and maintenance issues you may have , I think some of these people have kind of outgrown that ,” Martinez said .
The West Hill Apartments are located at 149 Colonel Etheridge Blvd . in Huntsville .
