Inglenook Neighborhood of Birmingham
Pros
- Affordability: Inglenook is considered highly affordable, with many single-family homes (ranch-style and craftsman bungalows) listed between $50,000 and $100,000.
- Convenient Location: The neighborhood provides quick access to major expressways and is a short drive from downtown Birmingham, making commuting relatively easy.
- Historic Character: The area features older, charming architecture built between the 1920s and 1950s, with opportunities for renovation.
- Community Resources: The area is served by the award-winning Inglenook Branch Library (a renovated fire station) and the Inglenook Recreation Center.
- Active Neighborhood Association: There is an active neighborhood association that meets monthly, suggesting efforts to maintain community engagement.
Cons
- High Poverty & Low Income: NeighborhoodScout lists Inglenook among the lower-income neighborhoods in America, with 45% of children living below the federal poverty line.
- Industrial Noise and Air Quality: Situated between the Birmingham airport and a railway yard, the neighborhood is subject to significant noise pollution. Air quality in this part of North Birmingham has also been a concern for health.
- Neglected Properties & Crime: The area has seen high rates of vacant, neglected, or condemned properties, with numerous code violations, including over 100 active weed/neglect cases. It is considered to have safety issues, especially compared to the wider metro area.
- Poor School Ratings: The local elementary school (Inglenook School) receives a C- grade.
- Lack of Amenities: While there are a few stores, residents have limited walkable access to diverse shopping or dining options.


Family History
In the 1930s this was the home of Clay Lester (tall man pulling the wheelbarrow). He was a yard man for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. He lived in the home with his wife Eleanor, and children Milton, Juanita and Carolyn.
