What makes a neighborhood a great place to buy? As a REALTOR®, I cannot stress enough the number one rule for home buying – location, location, location! Though this is excellent advice, there are also several other important things to consider when choosing the right home for you in a great neighborhood. Because all homes eventually get sold, it is important to keep in mind these factors that will affect resale:
- Schools
- Short Work and Shopping Commutes
- Curb Appeal
- Number of Bedrooms and Bathrooms
- General Appearance of the Area
- Extra Amenities that Make this Neighborhood Stand Out
- How Fast Homes Are Selling in this Neighborhood
- Price that You Can Afford
Perhaps you do not have children, have no plans to have children, or your children are grown. If you think that good schools will not affect your property, guess again. People will sacrifice almost anything to give their children the finest education, so when resale time comes it will be very important to be in a desirable school district.
Distance to work and shopping can make life convenient and pleasant, or add hours of stress, time, and gasoline costs to your day. Buying in an area with quick and easy access to businesses, shopping, entertainment, and schools will increase your enjoyment of your new home, and likely make your home more appealing when it is time to sell.
Always try to buy the home with the most curb appeal on the block. A charming facade will make you smile every time you pull into the driveway, and will be sure to attract home buyers at resale.
Once you are inside the home, be sure it has the right number of bedrooms and bathrooms for the area. Most people agree that a home needs at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to live comfortably.
The drive into your neighborhood should have a pleasing appearance of neatly kept homes. How well your neighbors maintain their homes will definitely affect the value of your home now, and in the future.
A great neighborhood will often offer extra amenities such as a swimming pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, golf club, walking trails, and community parks. The universal appeal of these “extras” will make a home with great amenities more fun to own.
A good sign that your neighborhood is a great one is how quickly and consistently homes sell in your area. Check recent home sales before you buy. Even in an economic downturn, homes in a great neighborhood will sell if priced competitively.
After location, the most important factor to consider when making a home purchase is how comfortably you can afford the price. If every month is a struggle to make your house payment, you will never be able to truly enjoy your home, so never buy more house than you can afford. Job changes and temporary times of unemployment are sometimes a fact of life, so plan ahead to keep your mortgage payment reasonable enough to allow for savings for a rainy day.
Follow these guidelines to home buying, and you will find the right house for you in a great neighborhood!

- French
- Craftsman
- Tudor
- Mediterranean
- Southern Colonial
Though only a few hundred homes belong to these neighborhoods, their authentic architectural details, along with close-in convenience to downtown and UAB, give these three neighborhoods genuine appeal.

If you are planning a move to Birmingham, Alabama, you will learn very quickly that you are entering the “Sports Capital of the South”. While other cities may try to claim that title, residents of the Birmingham area will confirm that passion for their teams reaches a whole new level here. We breed it into our young, and convert those who enter our city gates with contagious enthusiasm. For sports fans, Birmingham, Alabama is a great place to live!
If you love “high octane” sports, head to the nearby Talladega Superspeedway for the Talladega 500. The Tom Cruise movie Days of Thunder filmed here, as well as the Will Ferrell movie Talladega Nights.
If you prefer to hit the track yourself, then a trip to the Barber Motorsports Track, and also the Vintage Motorsports Museum, might be fun.
Hunting, boating, and fishing enthusiasts are certain to enjoy the new Bass Pro Shop, which recently opened in Leeds.
Because of our wonderful climate, tennis is very popular in our area. In fact, Birmingham just hosted the prestigious Davis Cup at the Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center.
Birmingham has also previously participated in the Olympics when Regions Park served as a satellite venue for soccer during the 1996 games in Atlanta, which is only about 2 hours away.
With the Regions Charity Classic, which is the #1 Champions Tour event, being hosted each year at Ross Bridge, and the Robert Trent Jones Course at Oxmoor Valley, high quality public courses are available for golfers. Numerous other beautiful golfing venues can be found throughout the area, both public and private.
The SEC Baseball Championship is played here each spring at fabulous Regions Park in Hoover. The Birmingham Barons minor league team, affiliated with the Chicago White Sox, calls this their home field. Their most famous former player is Michael Jordan.
Hoover High School’s Buccaneers football team of MTV’s TWO-A-DAYS, also plays most of its big games at Regions Park. Once again, the mighty Hoover Bucs brought home the Alabama High School 6-A State Championship for 2009, with a 14-1 record
Only 45 minutes away, Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, was host to the 2010 Iron Bowl, one of the biggest football rivalries in the nation, between theAuburn Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Alternating between Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama, (about 2 hours from Birmingham), and Tuscaloosa , most Birmingham residents would agree that the Iron Bowl is the biggest sports day of the year in the state of Alabama. Jim Caple of ESPN has placed the Iron Bowl at #38 on his list of 101 THINGS ALL SPORTS FANS MUST EXPERIENCE BEFORE THEY DIE. True to its reputation, the 2010 Iron Bowl had another legendary finish, with Auburn University narrowly defeating the University of Alabama. Riding on this game was the SEC Championship, which Auburn won, and a shot at the 2010 National Championship.
The 2010 Heisman Trophy winner is Cam Newton of Auburn University.
The SEC Champions for the 2010 season are the Auburn Tigers.
The 2010 BCS National Champonship played on January 10, 2011 in Glendale, Arizona was won by Auburn University with a score of 22 -19. Congratulations Coach Gene Chizik, and the mighty Auburn Tigers! Only one other time in history has a state had back to back National Championships. The retiring National Champions were the Alabama Crimson Tide.
In 2011, the Crimson Tide of Alabama came back to win the National Championship for the second time in 3 years.
Birmingham, you may want to visit theAlabama Sports Hall of Fame. With such sports giants as Joe Louis, Willie Mays, Paul “Bear” Bryant, Bart Starr, and Heisman Trophy winners Bo Jackson and Pat Sullivan, a trip to this museum should be a special treat for the avid sports fan.
Other local area teams such as the UAB Blazers and the Samford Bulldogs, currently being coached by Pat Sullivan, provide even more enjoyment of college athletics.
