Homewood’s 35209 delivers small-town charm just south of downtown Birmingham, with walkable streets in Edgewood, West Homewood, Hollywood, and historic Rosedale set against Red Mountain’s green backdrop and a humid subtropical climate (hot summers, mild winters). Expect an easy, community-centered lifestyle: shop 18th Street South and SoHo Square, stock up at Piggly Wiggly and ALDI, sip coffee at O’Henry’s, Seeds, or Caveat, and try local favorites like Saw’s BBQ, Little Donkey, Big Bad Breakfast, Pizzeria GM, and Hero Doughnuts. Outdoor time is big here—Homewood Central Park and Patriot Park host neighborhood events (including the West Homewood Farmers Market), and the Shades Creek Greenway (Lakeshore Trail) is popular for biking and runs; local gyms and the Homewood Community Center add options. It’s pet- and family-friendly with relaxed nightlife and quick I-65/Lakeshore access to UAB, Samford, and downtown. Recent Zillow Market Trends show a median rent around $1,650, with most listings roughly $1,200–$2,400 in recent months.

Strong neighborhood connections and community events foster a friendly atmosphere.
