Best Birmingham Neighborhood

Birmingham has a number of great neighborhoods but one of my favorites is Pembroke Park. If I were looking a new home in Birmingham and home price appreciation was most important to me, Pembroke Park would be the only neighborhood I would consider.

Nestled north of West Maple and east of Eton, Pembroke Park in Birmingham includes just under 700 homes. The neighborhood is an eclectic collection of homes from 1950s bungalows to custom built homes pushing the $2,000,000. The focal point of the neighborhood? The park itself. Pembroke Park is abuzz with activity including children using the playground, soccer games and softball games. Or you may see just see folks having fun and relaxing.

How’s the location? I think it’s the best location in Birmingham. Why? Pembroke Park is the closest neighborhood to Whole Foods which is on West Maple and makes for an easy walk. While you’re walking you can also visit Cannelle, located right on Eton or to the Eton Market. The Rail District, Birmingham’s trendiest area, is located super close to the Pembroke Park neighborhood. The Rail District is home to Griffin Claw Brewing Co, The Whistle Stop and the newly opened Lincoln Yard. Coming later this year to the Rail District is Big Rock Italian Chophouse presented by Cameron Mitchell Restaurants and Tom Celani.

Because of the mix of homes from bungalows under $500,000 to custom built homes price upwards of $2.0 million, Pembroke Park is positioned for big price appreciation. I think it's the best area if you are looking to invest in Birmingham real estate. Here's what is currently on the market:

2662 Derby - If you are looking for single-level living in Birmingham, you are going to want to check out this ranch.

2647 Pembroke - Priced under $600,000, this tudor is unique and exudes Birmingham charm.

2168 Manchester - Looking for a new home? Check out this home on Manchester built in 2023. You will love the convenience of the upstairs laundry.

2182 Buckingham - Looking to build a new home? Check out this fabulous lot right across from Pembroke Park. 

Pembroke Park is the gem of Birmingham and a neighborhood poised for price appreciation.
