District 3 proudly represents several of Birmingham’s most recognized and beloved neighborhoods, including Crestwood South, East Avondale, Five Points South, Forest Park/South Avondale, Glen Iris, Highland Park, and Redmont Park. Each neighborhood offers its own personality, rich history, and sense of community — from walkable streets and historic homes to thriving local businesses, parks, restaurants, and cultural landmarks. Together, these neighborhoods create a district filled with energy, character, and opportunity.

Education and youth development are also an important part of District 3’s foundation. The district is proud to be home to schools that help prepare Birmingham’s next generation of leaders, including Avondale Elementary, E.P.I.C. Elementary, and Glen Iris Elementary. These schools play a valuable role in supporting students, families, and the overall strength of the community.

From outdoor recreation and family-friendly attractions to local dining and entertainment, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

At the heart of District 3 is a commitment to connection, collaboration, and community. Councilor Josh Vasa and the District 3 team encourage residents to stay engaged, attend community meetings, share ideas, and remain connected through district updates and events. Together, we can continue building a District 3 that honors its history, embraces progress, and creates opportunity for generations to come.
