Zip code 35205 covers Birmingham’s Southside—Five Points South, Highland Park, and Glen Iris—where leafy, hilly streets climb Red Mountain and the climate is warm, humid, and mild in winter. Historic apartments and stately homes sit beside UAB’s campus and medical district, attracting students, healthcare workers, and long‑time locals. Daily life is easy with Publix at 20 Midtown, neighborhood pharmacies, the Starbucks at UAB’s Hill Student Center, and standout dining from Bottega and Chez Fonfon to Surin West and Dreamland BBQ; nights buzz around Five Points with patios and music at Zydeco. Green escapes include Rhodes, Caldwell, and Rushton parks plus Highland Park Golf Course, and you’re minutes to downtown with quick access to I‑65 and US‑31/280. The area is walkable and pet friendly, with many dog‑welcoming patios. Recent Zillow market trends show a median rent near $1,300, with most listings in the past few months ranging about $1,000–$1,900.

Rich history reflected in architecture, landmarks, and charming old-town character.
