Affordable suburban community with Ensley's manufacturing history

Workers who kept the mills and factories running lived in Ensley and it's neighborhoods like Germania Park. While the factories may be gone, the old cottages remain in what is now a quiet and affordable suburb of southwest Birmingham.
Germania Park is a quite city located five miles from all Birmingham has to offer.
Germania Park is close to Red Mountain park and it's 1,200 acres of walking trails.
