Worst things about Mountain Brook nobody talks about
Random thought, I work in tech and Poverty rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,444/month for a decent place. Crime rate is something to consider -Mountain Brook sits at 64.7 per 100K. The median home value here is around $891,300, which is pretty steep. Average temperature is around 64--F, so the weather is moderate. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Nice parks and trails
- Low taxes
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Limited dining options
- Poor road conditions
- Homelessness issues downtown
- Not enough green space
Has anyone dealt with this? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
