Green Acres Homes for Rent

Green Acres is a tranquil suburban neighborhood in southwest Birmingham, part of the historic Ensley community. Known for its mid-20th-century homes, the area features spacious ranch-style houses, split-level homes, and historic Craftsman-style residences, all set along quiet, forested streets. Most homes have manicured lawns and paved driveways, with over 70% of residents being homeowners. The neighborhood is within a few miles of local parks and major roadways, making it convenient for commuting. Rozelle Reynolds Park, located centrally, offers basketball and tennis courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, and walking paths. Despite the absence of public transportation, residents can access Interstate Highway 20 just 4 miles away, with downtown Birmingham and the University of Alabama at Birmingham 8 miles to the east. The neighborhood is within a mile of national retailers and features local dining options like Blackmon's Café, known for its Southern comfort food. Future developments include Ensley Social, a shopping and entertainment center set to open within five years. While the area is prone to severe weather, local governments have emergency preparedness plans in place.
