## Description

### Agent Description
Nestled in the growing west Birmingham corridor, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy space, convenience, and investment potential all in one. Located in the established Minor community, 490 Glasgow Rd places you just minutes from I-20/59, making downtown Birmingham, UAB, and the Birmingham business district easily accessible for commuters, tenants, or future resale appeal. The area continues to see interest from buyers and investors seeking larger lots, affordability, and proximity to some of Birmingham's biggest economic drivers. Nearby attractions include the world-class Protective Stadium entertainment district, the expanding University of Alabama at Birmingham medical and research corridor, and shopping and dining destinations throughout western Jefferson County and downtown Birmingham. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate quick access to parks, golf courses, and local recreation. Buyer to verify any and all information. Bham Realty does not hold earnest money.
