The neighborhood is perfect for young families and outdoor enthusiasts, with its close proximity to green, open spaces such as the Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Red Mountain Park.

The Redmont real estate market is dominated by single-family homes, with architectural styles ranging from Colonial to Craftsman. There’s also a great selection of vacant lots, condos, and townhomes to choose from. As of September, 2022, the median list price was around $420,000 across all property types, with some single-family homes priced as high as $1,450,000 and above.
