Why Live in Center Point
Center Point, a neighborhood just east of Birmingham, retains its small-town charm amidst the bustle of big box stores and chain restaurants. The area is known for its split-level and ranch-style homes from the 1970s and 1980s, set on half-acre lots with long driveways and attached garages. Tall pine trees provide privacy, while newer traditional homes in cul-de-sac communities offer mountain views. Reed-Harvey Park, a 17-acre green space, is a focal point for community activities, featuring a splash pad, amphitheater, and lakes for fishing. The park hosts seasonal farmers markets, free movie nights, and the annual Festival of the Springs. For those seeking things to do, Center Point Parkway is the main hub, offering a mix of shopping and dining options, including local favorites like Tienda Carniceria y Taqueria Fiesta and Zatie’s. Nature lovers can explore nearby Turkey Creek Nature Preserve with its waterfalls and swimming hole.
