Drive into one of Mountainbrook’s two entrances off Sharonview Road and you’d never know you are only a few minutes from SouthPark Mall, Phillips Place and the hustle and bustle of Sharon and Fairview roads.
It’s a quick drive to SouthPark and just 10 minutes from Uptown. In addition, the private Mountainbrook Swim & Racquet Club is right in the neighborhood. Members can play tennis or swim recreationally or competitively. The club also keeps an active social calendar of activities for children and adults.
Entering Mountainbrook, visitors will notice the topography changes drastically. The flat, urban areas give way to heavily wooded lots with streets that meander along hilly terrain carved by stream beds. As a result, you won’t find your sprawling grassy back yard here. Most back yards are steeply sloped and heavily wooded.
Homes in Mountainbrook primarily were built in the 1950s to 1980s and display the architecture of their era – from a few quirky A-frame-style homes that appear to float in the treetops to fabulous mid-century homes renovated true to the era. There are also traditional ranches and some 60s Georgians.
