Birmingham Southside District

The Southside encompasses the southern half of Birmingham, Alabama's downtown area from the Railroad Reservation to the crest of Red Mountain and from Interstate 65 on the west to Elton B. Stephens Expressway (U.S. Highway 31, or "Red Mountain Expressway") on the east near Green Springs Highway. It is considered to be the Midtown area of the city due its relationship to Downtown Birmingham.

Southside is home to many of the prominent points of interest of the Greater Birmingham area such as Five Points South and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and the adjacent medical center district. It hosts Birmingham's liveliest entertainment district at Five Points South and a large number of notable homes and churches from the early twentieth century. Highland Avenue connects Southside to the Lakeview Business District, another center for nightlife.
