Valley Crest, which includes 176 units, sold for $13.3 million, and Park on Valley, which include 113 units, sold for $8.2 million. The communities are situated between Downtown Birmingham and the affluent municipalities of Homewood and Vestavia Hills, offering proximity to all employment and community amenities in the metro including The University of Alabama at Birmingham with an annual economic impact of over $7 billion and 21,000 jobs.
