Huntsville
Huntsville Metropolitan Area
MTR-first arbitrage market. LTR rents cheap (3BR ~$1,554-1,800) but Furnished Finder + corporate housing ADRs run $2,300-2,730/mo for 2BR and up to $5,967/mo for 3BR townhouses, driven by perpetual Redstone Arsenal + NASA Marshall + Cummings Research Park (300 companies, 26K employees) defense contractor rotation. Nightly STR is zone-locked (only Res 2-B, C-3, C-4, C-5, RPC, Industrial); the play is furnished 30-180 day MTR via Furnished Finder + corporate channels.
Huntsville treats STR as motel use — only allowed in zones permitting hotels/motels (Res 2-B, C-3, C-4, C-5, RPC, Industrial). Most residential zones are off-limits. City has actively enforced (50+ notices). Madison city has no ordinance and no zone explicitly allows STR — gray-zone tolerance with pending council exploration. MTR (180+ day) is exempt and is the cleanest structure.
