Pleasant Grove Homes for Rent

Pleasant Grove, known as “The Good Neighbor City,” is situated in the tree-covered, rolling green hills of Jefferson County, just 10 miles west of Downtown Birmingham. Despite being a city, it retains a small-town neighborhood feel with a family-owned grocery store, a few gas stations, and local restaurants. The area is less commercialized compared to neighboring McCalla and Hueytown. Pleasant Grove experienced significant damage from a tornado in 2011, but has since been rebuilding, with new community storm shelters and open land available for development. Home styles are diverse, including sprawling ranch-style houses, split levels, bungalows, Cape Cods, and newer craftsman and ranch-style homes. Most homes date back to the mid-twentieth century, with some newer additions from the 1980s to early 2000s. Pleasant Grove Park, a popular spot for families, features old-fashioned playground equipment, a walking trail, and clear streams. The neighborhood’s main thoroughfare, Park Road, connects to Interstate 20, providing a 10-mile commute to Downtown Birmingham. Local amenities include Hills Foodland, Olipita Mediterranean & American Grill, and a Dollar General. The area has a low crime risk compared to the national average, making it a safer place to live. However, navigating the neighborhood can be challenging at night due to similarly named streets and dense tree cover.
