Planning a move to Mountain Brook -neighborhoods?

I relocated for work and It's a a small town city with about 22,160 people. Homes are going for about $891,300 on average. The suburbs are where most families end up. Am I overthinking this? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
