Birmingham has good areas and bad areas as far as places to buy based on the history of the city.  Historically I would say I think the traffic on 280 is stating to force some people to areas that were previously not considered.  If I were looking to buy in Birmingham I would say Crestwood, Gardendale, and Cahaba Heights.
