Arab touts itself as “a quaint yet progressive city, where its best assets are its people”. Located atop of Brindlee Mountain in beautiful Marshall County, Arab is a quick 30-minute drive to Huntsville and Redstone Arsneal, and beautiful Lake Guntersville is a quick 15-minute drive down the mountain.

Two of Alabama’s main arteries, US Highway 231 & AL Highway 69, come together in historic Downtown Arab. An area rich in heritage and history, Arab’s downtown is thriving. It’s filled with high-end boutiques, unique gift shops, antiques and specialty stores, a coffee shop, quaint diners, and a Mercantile. It’s also a favorite spot for weekly and monthly outdoor public events like concerts, car shows, holiday block parties, festivals, and more.
Arab offers its residents a suburban, yet rural feel, and the public schools are highly rated. The Arab City School System has been one of the top-performing school systems in the State of Alabama for more than 25 consecutive years!

The City Park is beautifully-landscaped, and includes a splash pad and pool, an 18-hole disc golf course, basketball and tennis courts, sand volleyball, shaded walking trails, playgrounds, covered pavilions, and an amphitheater. The Thompson-Eidson Soccer Complex has four lighted soccer fields, a six-lane track, a one-mile walking trail in a natural setting, locker rooms and shower facilities.

If you’re thinking of relocating, the City of Arab offers a quality of life that is unparalleled. With its top-ranked education & career-readiness program, an abundance of excellent job opportunities, a variety of shopping and dining experiences, a mild climate, and low crime rate, it's “an ideal place to live, work, shop, play, start a business, and raise a family”.
