1. The houses are dreamy
“Homewood’s prices are a premium right now due to everyone wanting a community feel with walkability and sidewalks to restaurants, shops, and churches. But there is still great value in these homes and new houses popping up everyday!”

2. Housing trends = smart remodels
“We are continuing to see more remodels where people are being smart with the space they are given. Homewood isn’t known for garages, foundations and tons of storage so I have noticed how people are using space more effectively. My perspective on why Homewood is such a community and friendly neighborhood is due to the fact that we have to get out of our cars in our driveway rather than a garage. We engage with our neighbors more because of that.”

3 . The community is tight
“When you go in the Piggly Wiggly, they all know your name and where your car is parked. You will walk into your home any afternoon and find 15 kids sitting around or playing in the yard.”

4. There’s tons of entertainment + more
As a whole, Homewood is a thriving hotspot for families, entertainment and more. When broken down into specific neighborhoods, it gets even better. Three we love are Edgewood, Hollywood and West Homewood. While all give the friendly, everyone-knows-your-name vibe, each neighborhood offers something unique and special. Here’s a look at some places in each area where you can grab a bite to eat, meet new friends and have a good time:
Edgewood
Considered one of Homewood’s most desirable neighborhoods, Edgewood is a mostly single-family residential neighborhood that’s loved for its walkability, older architecture and highly ranked schools. It also includes these top spots:
Hollywood
Another great place to set down roots in Homewood is the Hollywood neighborhood. Located on the east side of Highway 31 with Shades Cahaba Elementary, the area offers cute houses and city walkability.
While the neighborhood is defined by its many houses, a quick venture across the highway via an underground tunnel will lead you to a Mecca of business real estate in the city’s downtown. Here you’ll find unique shops, incredible restaurants and more. Some you’re sure to love include:
