When you choose a home, you’re not just choosing four walls. You’re choosing a lifestyle, a community, and a place to belong. That’s why Auburn and Opelika, Alabama have become two of the most sought-after destinations for homebuyers across the Southeast. With their perfect blend of small-town hospitality, vibrant amenities, and convenient access to larger cities, these communities offer the best of both worlds.
It’s no wonder that Alexander Scott Homes is proud to bring three thoughtfully designed new-home communities: Dawson Corner, Swann’s Bridge, and Dickson Place to this growing region.
Education & Auburn University
Known nationwide for its academic excellence, Auburn University is more than just a college campus. It’s the heartbeat of the city. From SEC football game days that bring the town alive to cultural events, research opportunities, and lifelong learning, Auburn University is a central part of local life.
Families also appreciate Auburn and Opelika’s top-rated schools, which are consistently recognized among Alabama’s best. For those thinking long-term, living near great schools adds incredible value to homeownership.
Dining, Shopping & Entertainment
Whether you’re craving Southern comfort food, international flavors, or a lively evening out, Auburn and Opelika offer dining options for every taste. Local favorites, chef-driven restaurants, and cozy coffee shops line the streets, creating a vibrant food scene with something new to discover every week.
Shopping is just as convenient, with boutique retailers, grocery stores, and national chains all nearby. Plus, seasonal farmers markets and downtown events bring neighbors together in ways you can only find in a true community-driven town.
Outdoor Recreation & Lifestyle
Life in Auburn and Opelika is as much about the outdoors as it is about the homes themselves. With nearby parks, walking trails, golf courses, and even Lake Martin just a short drive away, there’s always something to do under the Alabama sun. Many neighborhoods, including those by Alexander Scott Homes, also integrate outdoor amenities like green spaces, resort-style pools, and pickleball courts, making it easy to stay active and social close to home.
Convenient Commuter Access
While Auburn and Opelika offer everything you need day-to-day, their location along Interstate 85 makes commuting and travel simple. You can be in Montgomery in under an hour, Atlanta in about 90 minutes, and Birmingham in two hours, perfect for work, weekend getaways, or catching a flight.
This balance of small-town lifestyle and big-city access is one of the key reasons buyers from across Alabama and Georgia are drawn to new construction homes in Auburn and Opelika.
