Small forested suburbs lined with quality homes close to shopping in Center Point

Most of Bridlewood's homes were built during the expansion of Center Point after the Second World War. Jeremy Galloway, a Realtor at EXP Realty with over $15 million in sales, says, "Bridlewood's got a lot of that 1950s to 1970s style housing, lots of split-foyer, split-level or ranch-style properties." All of these homes are within 5 miles of retailers along Center Point Parkway and major freeways leading to Downtown Birmingham.

Bridlewood has brick ranch-style and split-level homes at affordable prices

Bridlewood's streets gently roll over a hilly and forested suburban landscape. Architecture typically follows ranch-style and split-level design conventions. "The houses are very reasonably priced," says Alexia Mccall, a Birmingham local and an Associate Broker at EXP Realty with 5 years of experience. "Lots of brick houses, a lot of homes have basements and garages, so you get a lot of bang for your buck here." There are also some townhome and apartment communities closer to Carson Road. Most people in Bridlewood own their homes, though there are some renters. Prices typically range from $95,000 for a smaller townhome or ranch-style house to $200,000 for a renovated split-level home.
