Many local realtors don't use lockboxes on their rentals so we are not able to show them. We have to go through their office to arrange showings. I could set up an automated search for you but our local MLS doesn't allow us to email listings that show contact information for the listing agents. The most efficient route will be to go to http://valley mls.com/(hojlrt554cwy0t45fsnjj0fn)/propertySearch.aspx and set up your own search. Click on the type dropdown and click rentals. Click " More search options" at the bottom of the left panel. Click House on the type Enter your price and size range. Add pets considered Add privacy fence I ran a test search and came up with a few that you can search by MLS number. MLS#: 366447 MLS#: 489471 MLS#: 655252 MLS#: 925452 MLS#: 874163 MLS#: 784534 About 30 days out you need to start focusing on specific properties and be prepared to move on any that are suitable
The best use of your time on your first trip will be to focus on getting an idea of areas rather than specific homes and subdivisions. You are correct that Madison is often the first choice for Huntsville newcomers. The schools are good and it's close to Redstone arsenal and shopping. The one downside is that of traffic. To most émigrés our traffic isn't bad at all but locally Highway 72 / University Drive, Old Monrovia Road and Sullivan / Wall Triana are consider especially bad. If you locate in south Madison you will be closer to Redstone but further from shopping. You might also want to consider close-in northeast Madison County, Hampton Cove and south Huntsville.
