Located approximately 5 miles from the city of Birmingham, Vestavia
Hills has twice been recognized as one of the Country's Fifty Fabulous

citizens are justly proud.

systems in the United States, and all its citizens enjoy one of the
safest communities in this part of our Nation. Multiple, active church
communities care for the spiritual needs of our citizens and the

youth.
Vestavia Hills is a city of beautiful homes nestled in the
spectacular landscape provided by the last outreach of the Appalachian
Mountains. Located on top of Shades Mountain, the City overlooks the
beautiful Shades Valley to the north and has a southward view of the
termination of the remaining Appalachian foothills.

area. The City of Vestavia Hills offers relaxed and comfortable living
