Alabaster has a small town feel- but with interstate access comes lots of dining/shopping choices! Property values are on the rise. Since the city took over the school system, much improvement has occurred and more is on the way!
Alabaster is a suburb of Birmingham and is a family friendly area with parks, shopping, and great schools. The commute to Birmingham is not a bad one, especially since they are expanding the interstate to be conducive for travel. We have all the stores that your heart desires in town, and a short drive to more shopping centers. Fast food and sit down restaurants are abundant in our city, along with churches and grocery stores. There is nothing lacking in Alabaster, except maybe beaches, but they are a short drive away, as are mountains, and big cities. Alabaster is a very convenient location to raise a family.
It's grown so much! I grew up in the school systems, and they were excellent. It's a convenient location and has everything you need close by.
