Hoover Reviews
Rating 4.19 out of 5 225 reviews
Overall, I have enjoyed living in Hoover, as it boasts all the conveniences of an urban location, while maintaining a suburban feel. Living close by downtown Birmingham gives you access to anything else you could possibly need! I have lived in Hoover all of my life, being born only 2.5 miles away from where I live now. Things that I would love to see change are the demeanors of the council members, as they have long since been averse to change in any form. However, other than that small detail, Hoover has been good to me.
I love Hoover! There is just about everything here from great food, to safe neighborhoods, to fun activities. The school system is great and is a growing area for families to move to.
Hoover is a great place to live in Jefferson/Shelby County, with loads of conveniences such as restaurants, shopping malls, near by top ranked hospitals, and school systems, to name a few, located throughout the city. Hoover’s living communities are safe and patrolled by some of law enforcements most caring officers.
