Vestavia Hills, Alabama is a vibrant, affluent community in Jefferson County with nearly 40,000 residents. Founded on the summit of Shades Mountain, the city draws its name and heritage from George Ward, a former Birmingham mayor who built a Roman-inspired home called “Vestavia” in the 1920s. The nearby Sibyl Temple, a gazebo modeled after a Roman structure, is now a historic City landmark. Since its incorporation in 1950 with just over 600 residents, Vestavia Hills has grown rapidly through development and annexation, including the additions of Rocky Ridge, Altadena, Liberty Park and Cahaba Heights. It is a thriving suburban city known for its southern hospitality, top-ranked schools and strong community pride. Vestavia Hills offers residents a high quality of life with renovated parks, civic centers, trails, pools, dog parks and the innovative Library in the Forest – Alabama’s first LEED-certified library. Vestavia Hills City Schools serve over 7,000 students across nine campuses and are recognized for their academic excellence and commitment to “Learning Without Limits.” With deep historical roots, strong civic values and modern amenities, Vestavia Hills is truly an amazing place to live, work, shop and play.
