About Glen

Iris

Glen Iris, located between Five Points South and Homewood, is a historic and residential Birmingham neighborhood with leafy streets and classic brick apartments. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 11th Avenue South corridor near UAB Hospital, where coffee counters, casual lunch spots, and campus-foot-traffic set a steady weekday rhythm. Early-20th-century bungalows and Tudor Revival homes mix with mid-century courtyard buildings along rolling blocks. Railroad Park and the Rotary Trail shape an outdoors-forward routine with skyline views. Local pillars like Red Cat Coffeehouse, Dreamland Bar-B-Que, and the Alys Stephens Center add a distinctly Birmingham cultural cadence.
