All Pieces in Place for Continued Boom in Prime area

The international economic downturn has long made headlines. However, not all areas are affected by the financial crunch. In fact, the area around Opelika and Auburn, Alabama has enjoyed booming business and all the pieces are in place for that boom to continue. The area offers immediate access to the I-85 Corridor, which runs from Alabama, all the way to Richmond, Virginia, offering access to hubs like Atlanta, Georgia, and numerous locations within South Carolina and North Carolina.

Another point in the area's favor is its inclusion in the Top 10 places for future growth, golf, recreation and retirement. This fact has enticed numerous consumers to make the move to the area, as well as businesses. The burgeoning population ensures a vast reservoir of customers and clients for businesses, as well as a steadily growing housing market. Commercial interests, residential developments and industrial developments have come to call the area home. In fact, investing in property in the area is one of the best ways to ensure solid profitability.

While international markets have become quite precarious, investing in real estate in this area is a sound option. One of the best options for investors interested in valuable, appreciating acreage consists of more than 585 acres in the heart of the economic boom area. This tract adjoins the property where the $32 million Sportsplex and Aquatic Center will be completed in summer of 2009. The $1 billion Celebrate Alabama development is also located directly across from this tract. Obviously, this location is prime for any investor.

In addition, investors will delight in the fact that the property already has sewer and water lines installed, decreasing the cost required to develop the property and increasing profitability. Another benefit is the proximity of Atlanta, Georgia, just 90 minutes from the property. Of course, Auburn University is only 10 minutes away. Thanks to the proximity of transportation hubs, the immediate access granted by the presence of I-85 and the growing consumer base, investors have a potential profit.

As a final note, the area has earned the reputation of being the Southern Auto Corridor, thanks to suppliers for Kia Motors and Hyundai, both of which continue to do quite well, despite the economic forecast for the world. Making a sound investment decision is simple when you have the right option.
