The neighborhood features a variety of shopping and dining options, including the local Piggly Wiggly and popular spots like East 59 Café and Urbano Taco. Community events are frequent, with the East Lake Farmer’s Market and East Village Arts hosting local vendors, musicians, and artists. Homes in Eastlake are primarily craftsman and bungalow styles, with some cottages, ranches, and split-levels, contributing to its laidback vibe. East Lake Park provides recreational opportunities with a public swimming pool, tennis courts, a walking trail, and a fishing lake, while Ruffner Mountain offers hiking and biking trails, old mining sites, and scenic views. Proximity to downtown Birmingham and accessible public transportation make commuting convenient.

The neighborhood's ongoing revitalization and community spirit make it an appealing option for those looking to live just outside the center of Birmingham.
