Americans are moving to the suburbs in greater numbers than ever before. In 2023, 25% of people moved from major U.S. cities like Birmingham, AL, into suburban communities like Irondale. Considering the rising cost of living, availability of remote work, and improved quality of life factors – shorter commute times, safer neighborhoods, and less crowding – moving outside the city is a wise choice for many individuals and families.

Suburban Living Close to Downtown Birmingham

Irondale is the perfect place to put down roots for those who want the perks of living close to Birmingham without dealing with the traffic, elevated prices, and higher crime rates. With only a 13-minute drive into the city, residents who work downtown get the best of both worlds – a spacious single-family home and a short drive to work or entertainment activities every day! Your kids and pets can play outside in their private backyard or use the popular community spaces like the resort-style pool, putting green, doggy day spa, and gated dog park! You can also enjoy the fitness center and clubhouse with guests, so going into the city isn’t the only entertainment option when you want to stay close to home.
