Neighborhood

Some of the finest homes in the South are located in Hoover/Vestavia Hills, and that’s an impressive feat. This trendy Birmingham neighborhood has a little bit of everything, architecturally speaking, from Victorian to contemporary. But that’s not all you’ll love about Hoover/Vestavia Hills, because this neighborhood is also home to fantastic shopping, great parks, and top-rated schools. Riverchase Galleria, a large mall with anchors like Von Maur and Macy’s, is located off Montgomery Highway in Hoover. The popular Brookwood Mall is at the north end of Vestavia Hills, providing even more shopping and dining options. Golfers will find their place at Vestavia Country Club, and hikers will enjoy the nearby Moss Rock Preserve, and those who love art and nature can soak up both at Aldridge Gardens.

Hoover/Vestavia Hills is located about six miles south of Downtown Birmingham, and commuters can reach the city in less than 15 minutes.
