An older core with character
New Albany has an established older residential area near downtown, where architectural character supports value when the house has been maintained. Deferred maintenance on historic housing is expensive; buyers should budget accordingly.
Newer development and county property
Newer subdivision housing sits around the older core, and Union County acreage begins quickly outside town.
Buying and selling here
For older homes, inspection focus goes to foundations, wiring, plumbing and roof systems. For county property, the standard rural checklist applies.
