Stretching along a scenic, tree-lined parkway on the southern edge of Birmingham, Highland Avenue connects three picturesque historic parks flanked by early 20th-century mansions and apartment buildings. It is a favored residential area for medical professionals, young professionals, and retirees who enjoy easy access to downtown and UAB.
