While holding its Southern roots, Birmingham is the largest city in Alabama and is a great place to live, work or play. The cost of living is among the most affordable in the Southeast. Area schools are nationally recognized among the nation’s best. Big enough to be cosmopolitan with great arts events hosted by The Birmingham Museum of Art and gourmet dining, like nationally ranked Highlands Bar and Grill, Birmingham is also small enough to be friendly and easy to navigate.

loft or live in one of the historical neighborhoods. You’ll find the best quality of healthcare ranked in the nation, including The University of Alabama at Birmingham, a world-renowned research and health care center.
