Oh cool! Yeah everything is coming up. Especially in the last 3-5 years. The new mayor has put a ton of effort into revitalizing the city. Alabaster and Pelham are still super affordable but are kind of suburban-rednecky and Hoover is too expensive for the nice areas. I also grew up in Hoover so don't really want to move back thereYeah I feel you. At that age I wanted to be down in the thick of it too. I had a place up on the hill in Southside about 20 years ago. (This was long enough back when Five Points was still happening and not liable to get you shot...)
I get the impression that things have changed a lot since I lived there. Even back when I left, the closer parts of Shelby like Pelham or Alabaster and even spots Hoover were still affordable without being too far out.
