Affordable suburban living close to Downtown Bham
Originally known as Oak Grove, Huffman was founded by a group of settlers from Virginia and South Carolina in the 1820s. Birmingham, “the magic city,” was starting to become an industrial powerhouse and this boom had people flocking to the northeast neighborhood of Huffman. Today, Huffman remains a rural suburb with most homes dating back to the mid-twentieth century when the neighborhood was first annexed into Birmingham. Longtime resident and local Realtor with Norman and Associates, Margie Nixon says, "it's an attractive area because homes are more affordable than other neighborhoods nearby and it's only 15 minutes from the vibrant downtown district."
Huffman homes are well kept and have garages.
You can find many one-story, ranch-style homes in the Huffman neighborhood.

1950s ranch-style homes on Huffman's rolling hills
Most Huffman homes were built during the 1950s when the neighborhood was first annexed into Birmingham. Sloping residential streets wind through rolling hills and peaceful woodlands. Leafy oak trees tower above the low-pitched roofs of established prairie and ranch-style homes. While there are no sidewalks, Huffman’s wide streets and quiet cul-de-sac communities make it easy for residents to go on an evening stroll with neighbors. Homes here range in price from $45,000 to $265,000.

My husband and i recently moved to Alabama from Chicago about a year ago and are so far enjoying the neighborhood and the surroundings. This area is super close to Trussvile so shopping and food is just around the corner. Peaceful neighborhood. Airplanes do however: fly above the homes which can be noisy.
