Evergreen
Suburban Neighborhood in Birmingham, Alabama
Jefferson County 35204, 35234
The neighborhood of Evergreen is aptly named. Residents truly get the best of multiple worlds in this north Birmingham suburb. Museums, art galleries, fantastic parks and great retail options are just minutes away in downtown Birmingham. The neighboring Acipco-Finley and Enon Ridge communities are chock full of relics of Birmingham's fascinating industrial past. You'll find an interesting mix of architectural styles in the neighborhood, with Tudor-style, Spanish-Revival and Craftsman-style homes in the area. Home prices range from $18,000 to $280,000.
Children in the neighborhood attend Carrie A. Tuggle Elementary School, named after the local educator who founded the school in 1903. Famed civil rights activist and author Angela Davis was once a student at the school. Students go on to attend Wilkerson Middle School, named after Malachi Wilkerson, a revered local choir director from years past. Wilkerson Middle opened its doors as an elementary school in 1957, but transitioned to a sixth-to-eighth-grade middle school in 1989. Under the leadership of administrator and educator Diane Rivers, the school implemented a series of performance improvements that would lead the school to be recognized as the first recipient of the Rochester Institute of Technology and USA Today Quality Cup Award in 1994. Teenagers attend A.H. Parker High School, which was the first public high school for Black students in Birmingham when it opened in 1900. Today, the school continues its tradition of excellence, with a B-plus Niche rating in diversity.
Evergreen Park offers a pretty green space for the community, with a playground, covered picnic area and plenty of shade provided by surrounding mature trees. Next to the park is Evergreen Community Center, the site of community celebrations, meetings and programs. Also nearby is the beautiful Fountain Heights Park, which boasts open green spaces, walking paths, an outdoor basketball court, a playground and a picnic pavilion. The Birmingham Hardcourt Bike Polo is also within the park. The Fountain Heights Recreation Center features an outdoor swimming pool where residents can escape the Alabama heat. Inside the center, locals can take various fitness classes.
The popular, no-frills Eagle's Restaurant has been a community fixture since 1951. The family-owned eatery serves tasty Southern comfort fare like ox tails, fried pork chops and chicken wings. Another beloved local spot is Niki's West, which has been open since 1957. Pete and Teddy Hontzas took over the restaurant from their late father, Gus. P. Hontzas. Regulars love the relaxing and inviting atmosphere of this old-fashioned Southern buffet. Of course, downtown Birmingham's plethora of dining options are just a five-minute drive from Evergreen. A bunch of these places can be found under the roof of the Pizitz Food Hall, where visitors can browse coffee stands, oyster bars, chocolatiers, pizza, pho, gelato and much more.
Proximity to downtown also means access to incredible attractions like the Birmingham Museum of Art, City Walk Park, Top Golf and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. Those seeking access to city excitement amid a serene suburban setting will find an ideal home in Evergreen.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
