Great Opportunity for a starter home or investment. Roof and HVAC less than 5 years old. Large master suite with a walk-in closet, separate dining area, laundry room, deck on back and large fenced yard. Low maintenance with siding on the exterior. Great opportunity.
Oakwood Place, located between Highland Park and Five Points South, is a residential and walkable Birmingham neighborhood with leafy side streets and a close-in, city-grid feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 20th St S and 11th Ave S corridor, where patios, coffee counters, and late-night bites keep the sidewalks active. Early-20th-century apartments and compact bungalows mix with mid-century brick buildings, giving blocks a layered architectural rhythm. Railroad Park and the Rotary Trail shape daily routines with green space and a linear path through downtown edges. A short drive places galleries and performance venues in reach without changing the neighborhood’s calm cadence.
