About West
Homewood
West Homewood, located between Downtown Homewood and Red Mountain, is a residential and walkable Homewood neighborhood with a hillside street grid and a compact village-style strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along the 18th Street South corridor near Central Avenue, where sidewalk patios, indie storefronts, and late-afternoon foot traffic set the tempo. Classic brick cottages and mid-century ranch homes mix with newer infill, framed by mature trees and rolling topography. The J. Clyde, Seeds Coffee Co., and the Homewood Theatre act as cultural anchors for casual nights out. Side streets stay quiet while the main drag keeps a steady hum. Parks and the Shades Creek Greenway add a leafy counterpoint to the restaurant row.
