Comfortable, with lots of privacy, in a safe and convenient location in Birmingham / Inverness / Hwy 280 area. Meadow Brook, account to Niche dot com is one of the top 3 suburban communities in the whole of Alabama. Welcome Home Sweet Home.

Meadow Brook Hills is top-rated Birmingham suburban community (Ranked #3 in the AL).
Imagine coming home after a high-stress shift at a downtown area workplace, (UAB/Brookwood Baptist, other hospitals, banks, IT companies) or a long day on Hwy 280 to a large, serene estate where your privacy is the priority. This is Corporate-style housing without the corporate price tag.
