Diverse, vibrant, and artsy, today’s Birmingham, Alabama is a far cry from its post-civil war beginnings being named after an English industrial city. While mining and manufacturing formed the early city’s economy, today there’s a biotech sector supported by the University of Alabama medical school and many large financial companies. After the bloody and horrifying confrontations of the Civil Rights Movement, Birmingham has committed itself to celebrating both Black excellence and the city’s diversity. Residents can enjoy the Greek Festival, the Lebanese Food Festival, Jazz Festivals, and the Folk Festival every summer.
While housing prices and rents in Birmingham are a bit below the national average, families are flocking in large number to the Birmingham area and housing stocks are low.
