City amenities without the hustle and bustle

The Moody neighborhood began as a small agricultural community outside Birmingham in rural St. Clair County. At the turn of the 20th century, Moody quickly developed into a small industrialized city, adding several manufacturing plants and a gristmill. Today, Moody is recognized as one of the fastest-growing cities in Alabama, with a current population of almost 14,000. While this small-town-turned-city is only getting bigger, “it’s still a hometown kinda place where everybody knows everybody,” says Pamela Long, a Moody native and the front desk event services director at Moody’s Civic Center. With a mix of national chains and local businesses, Long says, “Moody is a nice place to live because we have all the conveniences of a city without all the hustle and bustle.”

New traditional homes with spacious yards

Decorated Tudor Revivals and new traditional brick homes from the early 2000s are neatly organized in cul-de-sac communities. Some contemporary craftsmen with sleek interiors and mountain views were added to the neighborhood in 2021. Most houses in Moody offer half-acre green lawns with plenty of room to add a swimming pool or backyard playset. Residents take pride in keeping their yards well-manicured and flowerbeds weed-free. 1970s ranch-style homes sit on tree-lined properties in Moody’s more rural areas. Many of these countryside houses offer larger lots, with most at or above one acre. While most homes in Moody list between $250,000 and $350,000, some recently built homes with scenic mountain views can cost up to $675,000.

Alabama’s first Miracle League Field at Moody City Park

Children with disabilities compete in sports tournaments at The Miracle League Field at Moody City Park. While children swing at the park’s inclusive playground, parents can walk the loop track or rally with neighbors on the tennis courts. The Moody Civic Center offers fitness classes for people of all ages and manages the community sports leagues. Thanks to the Moody Youth Association, over 900 local kids learn to shoot basketballs and hit their first homerun on the 11 sports fields at this city park.

Last-minute shoppers can find handmade gifts in December at the Civic Center’s annual Holly Jolly Market.

Highway 411 takes residents to Downtown Bham

While this rural city does not offer public transportation, residents can take Highway 411 to Interstate 20 to access the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport in about 25 minutes. This route also connects Moody to St. Vincent’s East Hospital in 20 minutes or less.
