Located in Shelby County
A small town just 30 minutes outside Birmingham, Vincent offers residents secluded, budget-friendly homes, outdoor amenities and a town center with local shops and annual celebrations. Residents seeking peaceful country living can buy here while remaining relatively close to the Birmingham metropolitan area.
Buyers seeking enough seclusion to have a farm or equestrian property will find that the homes here accommodate just that. There are ranches, farmhouses and manufactured homes on acres of rich farmland and dense woodland. Some homes are built more densely near the town center, but most homes offer plenty of room to spread out. Closer to the town of Harpersville, there are gated communities like Deerwood Lake, which have spacious lakeside homes. These homes also offer up to two acres of land. Residents seeking to custom-build their dream homes will find plots of land ranging from two to 20 acres. Lots cost between $15,000 and $200,000 depending on acreage. Ranges and manufactured homes range between $185,000 and $270,000. Homes in gated communities can cost up to $950,000.
When residents want to get outdoors, the go-to is the Coosa River, which runs through the community. Gorman Park is located on the river's banks and has a boat ramp where residents often fish on the river. The community is also great for equestrians, as there are many natural areas where residents can ride their horses. Vogelsang Farm, an outdoor equestrian facility, is nearby. Residents can keep their horses here, attend horse therapy or get riding lessons. Families enjoy Vincent Municipal Park, which has a playground, track and ballfields with plenty of green space. For indoor recreation, the Greystone YMCA is just 20 miles away.
The town center may be small, but it's the heart of the community. Farmers can get supplies at Vincent Feed and Seed, and local produce and goods can be picked up at the Food Outlet. The town center is also home to Double A Drugs Pharmacy, the Vincent Public Library, a Dollar General and Foundlings Emporium. This decor and furniture boutique is adjacent to Alicia's Coffee, a favorite for hand-crafted coffee and light bites. For more retail, residents are 25 miles from larger shopping centers like The Summit Birmingham. There are department stores like REI and Ulta, grocery stores like Trader Joe's, a movie theater and restaurants. The Village at Lee Branch is nearby, which has more big box stores like Hobby Lobby and Dick's Sporting Goods.
One of the biggest draws to the community is the festivals that occur throughout the year. Annual traditions like Homecoming Weekend draw residents across Vincent to celebrate school and community pride. Vincent is also home to Alabama's largest and oldest living Christmas tree, the centerpiece of the annual Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting.

The community sits on Route 231, a major thoroughfare that connects to US 280 Highway. While there is little public transportation, residents can use these roads to reach the greater Birmingham area.
