SCHOOLS

Birmingham is a city with many great public schools. The public schools largely drive the real estate market here.  We have found that property values, appreciation, and stability are highly correlated to the school districts.  Multiple school districts have high and relatively consistent market demand at a wide variety of price points.  Many newcomers are pleasantly surprised by the cost of living, lower taxes, and quality of the public schools.  Local universities have excellent education programs that provide well trained teachers.
