Ruffner Mountain, a large nature preserve with hiking trails, stretches along the entire southeast side of South Eastlake. This beautiful area is one of the many draws to this popular neighborhood. The west side of the neighborhood provides East Lake Park – a large park wrapped around the centerpiece lake – and the historic Roebuck Golf Course. Commuters enjoy easy access to I-59, a quick way to reach Downtown Birmingham in less than 15 minutes, and the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport less than five minutes away.
South Eastlake’s hilly, wooded appearance belies its proximity to all of Birmingham’s conveniences and entertainment. And while this neighborhood is primarily residential, you won’t have to travel far for shopping and dining. South Eastlake is home to several food markets, the Village Market, and popular destinations like Ruby’s Café and Wings, Rings & Things by Joe & Deb.
After moving to your South Eastlake rental, be sure to visit the 1,038-acre Ruffner Mountain. In addition to 14 miles of hiking trails, this park features the Ruffner Mountain Ore Crusher, the spectacular Hawk’s View Overlook, and the Ruffner Mountain Limestone Quarry.
