SHANNON HOLMES INTERVIEWED ABOUT MOUNTAIN BROOK ALABAMA BY BLOOMBERG BUSINESSWEEK

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

Birmingham, Alabama Real Estate Expert Shannon Holmes of RealtySouth was recently interviewed about Mountain Brook, Alabama by New York Times reporter Venessa Wong for Bloomberg BusinessWeek. Interested in information on “America’s Most Expensive Blocks”, Realtor Shannon Holmes was asked to discuss the Mountain Brook, Alabama area, where the per capita income is one of the nation’s highest.

Part of the discussion centered on the charm of the city, and the beautiful iconic architecture from the 1920′s to the 1940′s. The homes along and above Mountain Brook Parkway, in the section which includes Overhill, Guilford, Southwood, Hastings, and Balmoral Roads contain nearly every style of home considered to be most desirable for the wealthy. These include Tudor and French castles, Mediterranean villas, Georgian mansions, and Greek Revival homes set in park-like settings. Many of these homes have been lovingly restored, updated, and increased in size to accommodate the modern family. Although some may disagree, this was the area chosen as most indicative of Old Mountain Brook.

Also discussed, were the long boulevards of high end housing along Cherokee Road and Old Overton Road, as well as the areas around Birmingham Country Club and Mountain Brook Club.

When discussing newer homes built in the last 20 to 25 years, Shook Hill Parkway was mentioned.

With street names such as “Memory Lane” and “Easy Street”, the lovely homes of Mountain Brook carry a charm and cache’ all their own.

One of my fondest memories of the beautiful Brook Highland Subdivision off of Highway 280 was working with a very large and lovely family with seven children. Supervising everything from paint colors to furniture and accessory placement, I was able to turn their house into a home. We became great friends, and periodically, I was asked to help with little updates to their home because of my Interior Design background. When a job transfer occurred a few years later, they were forced to sell their much loved Brook Highland home in a slow winter selling season during an economic downturn. With the advantage of professional home staging, their home sold in only 47 days.

Beautiful, livable homes are just one of the things that draw residents to real estate in Brook Highland Subdivision.

As a neighborhood, Brook Highland has wonderful amenities that give this area great appeal:

Directions: From I-459 North towards Atlanta/Gasden via Exit 250, merge right onto U.S. Highway 280 East towards Childersburg. Turn left onto Highway 119 / Cahaba Valley Road and travel 0.5 miles. Enter the subdivision by taking the second left onto Brook Highland Parkway.
