A growing community in Gardendale
Around 10 miles north of downtown Birmingham, Gardendale was once a farming community. But now, its name reflects its reputation as a quiet community that, like any good garden, always seems to be growing. “In the past ten years, I’ve watched the area’s population and diversity grow,” says Dana Belcher, Realtor with Re/Max on Main, who has nearly 20 years of experience in the industry and is local to the area.” More and more people are moving into the area due to its proximity to downtown and the airport. It’s the second-best location for commuters to both Birmingham and Huntsville,” Belcher says. Today, Gardendale’s growth is reflected in recent developments like Bill Noble Park, new shopping centers, and restaurants.

Endless new construction
Housing styles include older Bi-Levels and ranch-style houses and new construction in tidy subdivisions. “People who move to Gardendale have a wide variety to choose from,” says Belcher. Sales prices can range from the $100,000s to the $200,000s for a ranch-style home or Bi-Level. New subdivisions that showcase traditional homes with Craftsman influences can start in the mid $200,000s, with many of them selling into the $400,000s, with some selling for up to $700,000. These homes often boast attached two-car garages and paved sidewalks for strolls around the neighborhood. With a low crime score of 2 out of 10 according to the CAP Index, residents can feel at ease, although buyers should be aware that Alabama sits right in Dixie Alley, a tornado-prone region in the South.
