Mountain Brook is both quaint and upscale, prestigous and yet inviting.  With the top rated public school system in the state of Alabama, Mountain Brook allows its residents to have both the convenience to the downtown and medical areas as well as adorable shops and charming "side walk communities".  It is made up of 3 "villages" with shopping and restaurants in each.  Three elementary schools, one junior high and one high schools make up the school system here.
