Neighborhood Description Homewood, Ala., pop. 25,000, borders the southern edge of Birmingham and has turned from an aging suburb of small single-family homes into a destination popular for its urban shops and restaurants. The city tore down its old city hall and built one to anchor a new downtown, Mayor Scott McBrayer says. Parking is underneath. Upscale condos top shops and restaurants. A hotel is across the street. "You can walk to grocery stores and shop downtown," he says. Homewood's average age dropped from 60 to under 40 in about 10 years as a result. "When I came in to the City Council in 2000, the only thing we were discussing was building senior centers," McBrayer says. "Homewood was known for its starter homes with two bedrooms, one bath, and as soon as (people) started having children, they felt they had to move," McBrayer says. "Now families are coming in and purchasing those homes and may invest $300,000 to tear it down and build a $600,000 home in its place."
