Trussville
Trussville is the Birmingham suburb that read the room and built a downtown on purpose. The Cahaba Project's old cottages still sit on shaded lots, but the gravitational center has shifted to the Pinnacle and the new Town Center off Main Street, where the Hewitt-Trussville school cluster does most of the recruiting for incoming families. Commute to UAB or downtown runs 20 to 30 minutes on I-59, longer when it rains, which it does. The catch: growth is visible and audible, retail is still filling in, and the charm is newer than the neighbors west of the mountain.
