I have lived in Vestavia Hills since I was a kid, and I wouldn't have it any other way! Vestavia is a great city that is full of a large variety of shops and restaurants, and there is always something for the kids to do. Also, Vestavia police are extremely kind while still knowing how to enforce the rules, and the school systems couldn't be better!

The city is beautiful and it is right next to Birmingham which is going through basically a reboot. The culture is not very diverse on the surface, but once the bad people are weeded through you will find an amazing community. There are times through the year where the whole town comes together at the high school and it is an amazing experience.
I have lived in Vestavia for the past 18 years. Vestavia has been a great neighborhood to grow up in. The community is wonderful and the schools are exceptional. Vestavia is centrally located near lots of shops and restaurants. Very safe neighborhood with a great police force and fire department.
