Living in Highland Park

One of Birmingham's oldest and most storied neighborhoods, Highland Park has been drawing residents in since 1884. Winding through the heart of the area, Highland Avenue is widely considered the most scenic street in the city, lined with historic homes, mature trees, and three beautifully nestled parks. Whether you're looking for apartments in Highland Park for the walkability, the quiet residential character, or the proximity to some of Birmingham's best dining and entertainment, you'll find Highland Park checks every box. With Virginia Samford Theatre putting on shows down the road, Highland Park Golf Course nearby for weekend rounds, and the energy of 5 Points South and the Lakeview District just minutes away, there's always something to look forward to right outside your front door.

Dining and Entertainment in Highland Park

The dining scene in Highland Park is intimate by design, and that's part of its charm. Rojo anchors the neighborhood at the corner of Highland Avenue and Rushton Park, a reliable spot for a relaxed meal and great atmosphere. Bottega brings refined Italian dining to the mix, and Freddy's Wine Bar is a natural choice for a low-key evening out. Just beyond the neighborhood, the options expand considerably. English Village adds Chez Lulu, Continental Bakery, and Vino to the rotation, while Forest Park brings The Rougaroux, Juniper, and The General into range. For a livelier night, the Lakeview District is minutes away with Hattie B's Hot Chicken, Umami, Bettola, and Jack Brown's all close by.


When it comes to staying active, Highland Park is hard to beat. The neighborhood is consistently recognized as one of the most walkable in Birmingham, and you'll feel that the moment you step outside. Caldwell, Rhodes, and Rushton parks are woven right into the curves of Highland Avenue, giving residents easy access to green space year-round. Highland Park Golf Course, the oldest golf course in Alabama, is a short drive away for anyone looking to get out on the fairway. And with Virginia Samford Theatre regularly staging productions nearby, a great night out is never far from home.

  • Entertainment & Activities

    Highland Park has several parks to walk and exercise in and the Virginia-Samford Theater which regularly puts on shows. 

    The neighborhood, when compared to Avondale and 5 Points, is generally lower in the entertainment sector which is a tradeoff for the neighborhood's well-known quiet and tucked-away atmosphere.

    Nearby is the Highland Park Golf Course, which is the oldest golf course in the state. 

  • Neighborhood Lifestyle

    While the neighborhood may not bring the most entertainment, it is known for being the most walkable neighborhood in the city. You will often see the sidewalks full of people and their pets going for afternoon walks or morning jogs. 

    The heart of Highland Park is located on the corner of Highland Avenue and Rushton park where locals will often be seen enjoying the atmosphere (and food) at Rojo or enjoying O'Henry's Coffee.
