Why you'd want to live in Trussville

The beauty of the Cahaba River meandering throughout the city along with the beautiful canopy along the tree-lined streets are both pleasant and serene. The Cahaba Village historic district laid out with WPA labor in the 1930’s is the pride of the community. Trussville’s Mall in the center of the historical district was designed to resemble the Mall in Washington, D.C. with the school and commissary (now the Chamber of Commerce) anchoring the east end. This district contains 287 residential units consisting of triplexes, duplexes and single family homes. These homes were originally rented to families, before being offered for sale in the early 1940’s. The area had schools, sewer, indoor bathroom facilities, paved streets with curbs and gutters, parks and sidewalks. This was the first planned unit development in Trussville and is still a very desired address to this day. All homes had lots large enough for a garden spot with a shed to house a cow and chickens. Remember, this was established during the Great Depression. The City of Trussville has received a historical designation for the Cahaba Homestead Village Historic District from the Alabama Historical Preservation Commission and has been listed on the National Historic Register in Washington D.C. Trussville is known for its churches, schools and now has over 75 restaurants to suit your taste.
