Welcome to Leeds Alabama
Are you stuck between wanting to live in a friendly small town, but also yearning for all of the modern amenities of the big city, like abundant shopping, great entertainment, and convenient interstate access? If this sounds like you, Leeds, Alabama just may be your dream city.
Leeds Alabama is Your Dream City
Nestled just 17 miles from downtown Birmingham, Leeds is a tri-county municipality, straddling the borders of Jefferson, Shelby, and St. Clair counties. It's incredibly convenient to I-20 and I-59, as well as the Birmingham International Airport, but maintains enough distance to be isolated from the traffic and the issues that tend to come along with living in "the city". You can easily be in larger cities like Birmingham and Atlanta in minutes.
