Enon Ridge Home for Sale

Enon Ridge, located in the historic Smithfield community of Birmingham, is a neighborhood rich in Civil Rights history, just 1.5 miles from Downtown Birmingham. Known for its post-war bungalows and ranch-style homes, Enon Ridge was once home to notable figures such as Carrie A. Tuggle, Erskine Hawkins, and Angela Davis. The neighborhood features weathered brick exteriors and original appliances, with new construction homes emerging through a partnership with the city and local non-profit BEAT. Enon Ridge is a quiet, family-oriented community with a strong sense of neighborly support. The area is safer than the national average, contributing to its appeal for families. Enon Ridge Trail, a mile-long tree-covered path, connects residents to East Thomas Park's 22 acres of green space and swimming pool. The neighborhood is also home to the historic Old Sardis Missionary Baptist Church, a significant site in the Civil Rights Movement. Despite the nearby congested interchange of Interstate 65 and Interstate 20, residents often use the regional trail system to avoid traffic. Dining options within 2 miles include the Alabama Farmer’s Market and Niki’s West, a long-standing cafeteria-style restaurant. Enon Ridge students attend Birmingham City Schools, with Tuggle Elementary, Wilkerson Middle, and A.H. Parker High School serving the area.
