Caution

Overall safety score

“Go with care. Highland Forest is a quiet, primarily residential subdivision in Bessemer that is substantially calmer than the city core, though surrounding commercial areas and thoroughfares require general situational awareness. Visitors staying with family or renting an accommodation will find a peaceful suburban pocket, but it offers minimal visitor attractions.”

About the area

Suburban / ResidentialCar-DependentQuiet / Tree-LinedCommuter Pocket

Highland Forest is an established, tree-filled residential neighborhood located in eastern Bessemer near the Hoover border. Characterized by single-family homes and curving suburban roads, it functions mostly as a commuter bedroom community. The area is car-dependent with immediate access to major retail corridors along Academy Drive and I-20/59.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
