Homewood: One of the Best Housing Markets in Birmingham
If you are considering a move to Birmingham and want to live near some of the best restaurants and top retail stores, and live in a very walkable neighborhood, all while remaining close to downtown Birmingham, you would be hard pressed to find a better community to settle down in than Homewood. Homewood's historic bungalows and Tudor architecture make it visually pleasing, but add top notch schools with wonderful mix of socio-economic and ethnic diversity, and you have the makings of a very special community. Whether you are a young couple looking to purchase your first home, or an established homeowner in search of an upgrade, you will find plenty of homes to choose from in Homewood. One of the best features about this area is the fact that it has been, and will very likely remain, one of Birmingham's strongest housing markets. With inventory low, and home values climbing, there is no better time than the present to buy a home in Homewood.
