Highland Park Amenities

Living in Highland Park means following Highland Avenue South as it curves along the base of Red Mountain, with older apartment buildings, condos, and houses set among some of Birmingham’s best-known green spaces. Rushton Park sits along the eastern stretch of Highland Avenue, where open lawn and shade trees face Rojo at 2921 Highland Avenue South and O’Henry’s Coffees at 2915 Highland Avenue South, a coffee stop that anchors the same block. Farther west on Highland Avenue, Caldwell Park runs beside 26th Street South with a broad greensward and formal landscaping, while Rhodes Park lies up the avenue near the neighborhood’s central ridge. Downtown Birmingham is a 12-minute drive, 3.2 miles from Highland Park. UAB Hospital is an 8-minute drive, 1.7 miles from Highland Park.

For Highland Park amenities, the commercial pockets are small but memorable, with places folded directly into the street grid instead of separated in a shopping center. Bottega stands on Highland Avenue South near the western edge of the neighborhood, where the restaurant and café sit close to the sidewalk in one of the avenue’s landmark buildings. Freddy’s Wine Bar is also on Highland Avenue South, giving this stretch an evening destination between the park blocks and the Southside street network. A few blocks off Highland Avenue on 10th Terrace South, The Garage tucks into a leafy courtyard that feels hidden from the main road despite being close at hand. Among the recurring things to do in Highland Park, the annual “It’s Nice to Have You in Highland Park” porch crawl turns addresses along Highland Avenue into a neighborhood-wide open house, with stops that have included the Donnelly House, the Birmingham Historical Society, O’Henry’s Coffee, and a live-music after-party at Rojo. Before you buy here, expect an early-20th-century mix of brick apartment buildings, detached houses on narrow lots, and curving streets that follow the hillside rather than a rigid grid.
