Defined by its narrow and winding mountain roads, scenic vistas, and wooded hills, Glen Iris is as beautiful as it is historic. This is one of Birmingham’s oldest neighborhoods and it’s also one of its trendiest. Glen Iris has an urban side to counterbalance all of that natural beauty, so you’ll discover a variety of restaurants, shops, and nightlife along with great hiking destinations.
Glen Iris Park, developed around 1898, is the neighborhood’s crown jewel. This subdivision contains a variety of well-maintained, historic homes that encircle a wooded greenspace. While the homes are still privately owned, Glen Iris residents are proud to have this small time capsule tucked away in their neighborhood.
Situated directly south of Downtown Birmingham, Glen Iris is close the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Vulcan Park and Museum, Birmingham Zoo, and the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
