Historic, small town charm
The historic community of Mountain Brook provides small-town charm right on the outskirts of Birmingham. Shopping districts, restaurants, parks and golf courses make this town a popular place to live and a sought-after tourist destination. Proximity to the Cahaba River adds a scenic element to outdoor activities and opens up possibilities for fishing and kayaking. Highly rated schools bring in younger families to mix with the older crowd and their well-maintained homes. "It's a great place to grow up in, with big front yards and great schools," says Jonathan Averett, a local Realtor with eXp Realty and four years of experience.

Multiple shopping opportunities
The real stars of this charming small town are its shopping villages, filled with adorable storefronts, mom-and-pop eateries and inviting cafes. Mountain Brook Village is a piece of history tucked into classic European architecture, with a vast range of shopping and dining options. There's also Crestline Village, with its shops and iconic clock tower. Church Street Coffee and Books provides coffee and a large book selection. Locals love the café's signature food item: the sea salt-topped, chocolate chunk-filled Breakup Cookies. Crestline Bagel Co. has 10 different hand-mixed cream cheese options and a smoked salmon spread. Those looking to mix up their bagel experience can try the Eggel, a bagel stuffed and baked with sausage, egg and cheddar cheese. Otey's is a local watering hole serving classic bar food and cold drinks since 1989. Regulars come for Chef Rodney's Famous Cheeseburger and stay for the live music. Gilchrist is another local favorite where patrons swear by the limeade and BLTs.

Shaded trails and creekside views
Locals head to Jemison Park for shaded trails and scenic views of the creek and the old mill. "Even though you're right by the city, there's plenty of places to get out and enjoy the outdoors," says Averett. "Mountain Brook has trails, creeks, the Cahaba, you name it." Birdwatching, picnicking, fishing and jogging are all popular activities. Overton Park is another option that offers a playground for kids, tennis courts and a looping footpath. Mountain Brook is also home to the Cahaba River Walk Park, where locals can fish, kayak, canoe or walk along the stunning Cahaba River. Local golfers are in luck, with two country clubs in the area. Founded in 1898, The Country Club of Birmingham is home to two golf courses, aquatics facilities, tennis courts and world-class dining. There's also Mountain Brook Club, a private club that's been around since 1929.
Residents can enjoy the tennis courts at Overton Park.
