Adel's downtown square — brick streets, the Dallas County Courthouse anchoring the middle of it — is on the National Register of Historic Places, one of the only places in the state where both the buildings and the streets themselves carry that designation. That's not trivia we're throwing in for color; it actually matters for how remodeling gets done here. A house near that historic core often comes with expectations — from the neighborhood, sometimes from the city — about keeping the character intact even while you update what's inside.
At the same time, Adel's growing fast enough that "historic Adel" and "brand-new Adel" are now the same town. North Adel is mostly older, established streets with mature trees and traditional lots. South and west of downtown, it's newer development altogether — bigger lots, modern construction, a different set of remodeling needs entirely (if there's anything to remodel yet at all, versus building out an addition as a growing family outgrows a newer house faster than expected).
Whether your place is a hundred years old or five, we'll treat it like the specific house it is, not a generic remodeling job.
