The Neighborhood:
In the heart of Birmingham, the Glen Iris area offers a unique blend of history, greenery, and vibrant community life. While the charming Glen Iris Park is privately owned by the historic homes surrounding it, residents and visitors can enjoy George Ward Park, an expansive 84-acre public space. This park features six lighted softball fields—once used by the UAB Blazers—plus a tennis center with eight outdoor courts operated by the Birmingham Area Tennis Association. Outdoor enthusiasts can try the 24-hole disc golf course, and pet owners will appreciate the dedicated dog park. Local groups, including the Glen Iris Neighborhood Association and Friends of George Ward Park, work to preserve and maintain this well-loved space.
For a more intimate park setting, Bessie Estell Park—located beside the UAB Intramural Field—offers a playground for children and vine-covered circular pavilions that invite quiet moments with a book. Named for Bessie Sears Estell, a pioneering educator and the first African-American woman to serve on the Birmingham City Council, the park was thoughtfully designed with full wheelchair accessibility.
Glen Iris borders the University of Alabama at Birmingham, providing easy access to the campus green, college sporting events, and live performances at the Alys Robinson Stephens Performing Arts Center. Whether you’re connected to UAB or simply enjoy the energy of a college town, the area’s location is unbeatable.
Dining options abound, from the neighborhood staple Giuseppe’s Café, known for handmade pizzas and hearty pasta dishes, to the nearby Red Mountain Plaza, where you can find Red Sea Ethiopian Restaurant, Sneaky Pete’s Hotdogs, and Full Moon Bar-B-Que. Everyday conveniences such as Walmart Neighborhood Market, Publix, CVS, and Walgreens are just minutes away.
With its historic homes, active community, beautiful parks, and proximity to UAB, Glen Iris offers the perfect balance of charm, activity, and convenience.
