Housing

Mostly newer builds on quiet streets, with older homes near the town center. Value per square foot is strong.

Getting around

I-65 Exit 275 is the lifeline; everything else is county roads.

A little history

A coal camp turned commuter town, Kimberly boomed once the interstate made Birmingham an easy drive.

Living here

Newer houses, low traffic, and a genuine small-town pace.

Visiting for the first time

A pleasant detour north when you want quiet parks and river access.

The north end boom

Kimberly has added subdivisions faster than almost anywhere in the county, and much of that growth shops, eats, and works in Gardendale.
