Well, just tell me this, is Mountain Brook the place to live if you're in your 20s, or somewhere else?

Mountain Brook is one of the best places to live in the country, but more for families.

If you can afford it

Look at apartments in the southside area (Rojo, Highlands, Lakeview, Forrest Park, Glenn Iris), Homewood (be careful here, parts of Homewood are rough), and Hoover. Avoid North Birmingham, West Birmingham and East Birmingham.

If you end up on a street with a "SW" or "W" behind it, haul arse.

Mnt Brooke is nice but more for well off, established famlies.
Homewood (where i currently live) and Highlands area are good. Homewood for younger famlies or singles, Highlands if u like the artsey stuff (nicer version of LSU Chimes area).
Been here 11 yrs and love it but bama fans do suck. Plenty of LSU fans though.

Sure if you are a multi-millionaire. Most of the mid 20's young professionals live downtown in the new apartments/townhomes/condos being built, or in Homewood (just south of downtown over the mountain). Birmingham is great. You will like it. Plenty to do and only a 2-3 hour drive from Nashville and Atlanta.
