Traditional and midcentury homes a short drive from downtown Birmingham

There are two residential areas in Woodland Park, one with established, midcentury ranches, Craftsman-style bungalows and Shingle-style ramblers. If they’re on the slope of a hill, houses are more likely to be partially or fully raised to match the elevation. The residential streets tend to have paved, shallow ditches for runoff instead of sidewalks, though busier streets do have sidewalks. The other residential area offers newer construction with different variations of brick minimal traditional homes, ranches and Colonial Revival-inspired estates. These homes typically have sidewalk-lined streets and more spacious yards. Prices here can range from $50,000 for a two-bedroom, one-bathroom single-family home to over $300,000 for a four-bedroom, three-bathroom estate-like home.
