Take in our hospitality
Helena Road runs right through downtown, which exudes small town charm. Take the bridge over Buck Creek and stop by the Helena Welcome Center, a small train car filled to the brim with puzzles and books.
Come see the sites of our lush landscape and view the area’s famous Cahaba lilies. Browse unique boutiques, sample the tastes of local chefs, mingle, and relax Creekside while you sip refreshments. We think you’ll be inclined to stay and make Helena home.
A haven for visitors
A visitor to Helena today would probably have no idea that it was once all but written off the map. One of the most thriving suburban communities in the Birmingham area, Helena is one of the special communities in Shelby County that exemplifies the American Dream. A city with history, Helena had its share of dramatic experiences.
A drive around Helena today is a display of well planned, progressive development that includes some of the most prestigious and affordable housing in and around Birmingham—without the hassles.
With the creation of new restaurants, food markets, retail and specialty shops, the area is quickly becoming service oriented. The revitalization and restoration of Old Town Helena is also perking interest from individuals and potential businesses throughout central Alabama. While a quaint housing development along the banks of Buck Creek takes residents back to a more laid back period, businesses located along Main Street provide a relaxed shopping experience.
