    The neighborhood

    This condo sits in Highland Park, one of Birmingham`s oldest and most walkable historic neighborhoods, right next to Five Points South, the city`s premier dining and nightlife district. Within a short walk you have James Beard recognized kitchens like Highlands Bar and Grill, Bottega, and Chez Fonfon, barbecue at Jim N Nick`s, and cocktails at The Collins Bar, with dozens more spots packed into the Five Points stretch. Closer in, Highland Park itself brings Rojo for Latin and American plates, the historic Virginia Samford Theatre, the Highland Park Golf Course, and the green of Rushton and Caldwell Parks. UAB and the medical district are minutes away, a strong fit for traveling medical staff and business guests.

    Downtown is minutes away, so the city`s anchors are within easy reach. Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark is about five minutes out, with the Birmingham Museum of Art and Vulcan Park around six, the Alabama Theatre about seven, and the Birmingham Zoo and Botanical Gardens within eight. Regions Field, where the Birmingham Barons play, and Railroad Park are about nine minutes out. Birmingham Shuttlesworth International Airport is roughly twelve minutes by car.
