A small residential community of northwest Birmingham
Deep in the suburban corners of northwest Birmingham is Sandusky. The neighborhood may be small, but it has a lot of heart because of those who live there. "Sandusky is a pleasant, neighborly area to be in. We've got people that seem to really care about one another," says Tim Allen, Birmingham native and president of the Sandusky Community Center. "It's home to small business owners, law enforcement retirees and many churches." However, despite being a quiet slice of suburbia, residents are just minutes away from the excitement of Downtown Birmingham.

Older homes in need of a few repairs
Most homes in Sandusky are at least 60 years old, some dating back to the 1920s. Because homes are older, some need repairs, putting their price points between $50,000 and $90,000. Both owners and investors have already renovated houses, raising values to between $100,000 and $160,000. Many investors have also purchased homes to renovate and rent out, making Sandusky a rising blend of owners and renters. Buyers will mostly find Craftsman bungalows with around 1,000 square feet and two to three bedrooms. Streets in Sandusky are narrow and woodsy, lacking sidewalks, and most residents have anywhere between a quarter to a half-acre of land.
