15341 TYLER MILL DRIVE
Christina my wife previewed this house for us. She said the neighborhood seemed well maintained and the house in good condition. She did say the 2nd and third bedrooms were small.
4893 JAMES STREET
The house is in overall good condition. It does need some minor repairs. The porch light fixture needs to be replaced and there were areas on the walls that needed work. The carpet has been replaced and the carpet installer forgot to cut out a hole for one HVAC outlet (register) in the master bedroom.
The house is in an established neighborhood and the schools that serve the house are good. It is about 15 – 29 min. from Redstone Arsenal. The house has been on the market since 10/11/10 and started out listed at $156,900. The house is listed at $149,900 / $91 psf now. I looked for comparable sales in the neighborhood but the homes that did sell were older.
The link below is to a summary of MLS activity in the same general area but outside the neighborhood since 06/01/10. Considering the house does need some minor work, I think that it is priced at the upper end of the market range,

117 BRAMBLE
This is a very nice home. It does need some work but is in overall good condition.The commute to Redstone id about 33 min. The drive seemed really long back into town. A lot of the way is two land road and highway although highway 53 is being widened to a four lane.
