Hoover, AL

The other day, I was talking with a person who is Moving to the Birmingham Alabama area from out of town. The topic of golf came up and they were amazed at what Birmingham had to offer. Did you know that there are over 40 golf courses in and around Birmingham? Some are public, including the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Oxmoor Valley and others are private. To get a shapshot of the courses available click here.

When I was growing up in Massachusetts, my Dad, who loved to play golf, used to play with orange golf balls several months out of the years because there was snow on the ground and it was hard to find that little white ball in the snow. The weather here, though, is perfect for golf most of the year. If you like to golf, I'd say you could plan to play everyday. Yesterday it was raining (hurricane Fay is dumping rain still) and I saw folks out on the course at Inverness when I was driving by!

Hoover, Alabama is rich with golf courses. There is the famous Ross Bridge Resort (also a Robert Trent Jones Course) which hosts the Regions Charity Classic Champions Tour every May. Also, there are 7 private courses all tucked away in the beautiful rolling hills of this wonderful city.

If you would like to live on a golf course, there are several opportunities available. All the Hoover courses are surrounded by neighborhoods. Many homes have a lake and golf course view. Would you like to sit on your porch and see a view like one at the left at the end of a long day? If you would like to explore this type of livestyle - where your views are a finely manicured lawn and golf is a daily occurrence, let me know.

Hoover Alabama - A City of Parks

I love trees and I love to be outdoors (except for those really hot days of summer). Spring and Fall are incredible - clear days, moderate temperatures AND plenty of places to hike, picnic and spend time with your family outdoors. Summer mornings before 9:00 are also quite a treat.

Hoover is home to the Moss Rock Preserve and Aldredge Botanical Gardens. These are world class parks that attract visitors from all over the state. Aside from these, Hoover supports 5 Community Parks and 3 Neighborhood Parks.

Today I was at the Howard Lake Park. This Community Park is located right next to the Hoover Municipal Building and across the street from the Hoover Library and the Hoover Recreation Center. I guess this would be called Hoover's downtown park. There is a little A frame house (The Lake House) that overlooks the 3 acre lake and you can rent it for receptions. There is also a walking trail that goes around the lake and wildlife that thinks you might have a special treat for them. If you are working out at the Hoover Rec Center (which is a phenomenal exercise facility for Hoover Residents only), and you want to step outside for some fresh air - this walking path is a great change of pace.

Many of the neighborhoods in Hoover maintain their own playgrounds and/or parks. The Preserve, a new TND located only a couple of miles from the Howard Lake Park has multiple parks within the neighborhood. The theory there is that no one is more than 5 minutes walking distance form a park.

Thinking about buying a new home and would like to be close to a park, let me help. I can be reached at www.ToniBird.com. Hoover Alabama has Homes for Sale in all price ranges only a short distance from special places where you can enjoy the outdoors.
