The community is progressive with a low crime rate, excellent schools, plenty of recreational opportunities, and an affordable cost of living.  Lake Martin provides endless recreational opportunities including boating, fishing, camping, golf and much more.  With its wildlife and hunting preserves, Alexander City is a sportsman's paradise.  The Lake Martin area has gained national exposure as one of the top ten retirement spots in the nation.    Centered in a growing business triangle formed by Atlanta, Birmingham and Montgomery, Alexander City provides the charm of small town life with easy access to metropolitan areas.

EDUCATION: The Alexander City School System consists of three elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. The system was the first in the state to have all schools designated as demonstration sites for the nationally recognized Alabama Reading Initiative.  In 2005, the system was the first city school system in the state and nation to be awarded District Accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) with annual recognition as a Quality District.  The high school was recently named one of 14 CLAS Banner schools in Alabama out of 130 nominees.   The Alexander City Schools Education Foundation completed a campaign for $1 million to be used to make ALL core academic classrooms equipped with the most current and applicable technology to expand the learning opportunity for ALL students to the world stage.
