  • Flat, open space with hills on the side

Executive Summary

This prime 0.29-acre (approximately 12,632 square feet) vacant gravel lot at 6409 Georgia Rd, Birmingham, AL 35212, offers flexible, low-maintenance commercial potential in a high-traffic South Woodlawn location. Zoned CB-2 Community Business District (equivalent to B-3 in Birmingham's ordinance), it's ideal for contractor overflow parking, equipment/trailer storage, vehicle display, or light commercial uses like retail, offices, auto repair, or mini-warehouses.
**Key Features:**
- **Dimensions:** 80 ft wide frontage along Georgia Rd × 165.9 ft deep (front to back). Flat, compacted gravel surface—handles heavy loads (dump trucks, semis, excavators, tractors) with no mud issues.
- **Access & Security:** Open drive-on entry from Georgia Rd—no gate needed yet. Backs directly to a steep, wooded hill + Norfolk Southern train tracks (no rear access possible—natural barrier against theft or trespassing). Flanked by two residential houses on each side for added privacy and low-key neighborhood feel.
- **Location Advantages:**
- Minutes from Home Depot (Crestwood Blvd—perfect for contractors grabbing lumber/tools).
- Close to Irondale, Crestwood, Crestgreen neighborhoods.
- Quick highway access: ~1-2 miles to I-20/I-59 Exit 129 (Messer Airport Hwy/Airport Blvd), linking downtown Birmingham, airport, Bessemer, and east suburbs.
- Near Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport—convenient for haulers or mobile services.
- **Utilities:** Available in street (Alabama Power electric, Birmingham Water Works sewer/water, gas via Spire)—none stubbed on-site, but easy extensions for any build-out.
- **Current Use:** As-is gravel yard—perfect for immediate rental as parking/storage. No structures, minimal upkeep (just occasional grading if needed).
- **Zoning Perks:** Permitted: parking lots, contractor yards (incidental), self-storage, retail shops, professional offices, vehicle sales/repair. Outdoor storage must be screened or accessory—no heavy industrial, junkyards, or batch plants. Conditional uses possible (e.g., food truck base). Verify with Birmingham Planning & Zoning.
- **Market Fit:** East Birmingham's growing contractor scene needs affordable overflow spots—near tracks adds quiet/privacy. Comparable small yards lease $200–$400/mo; this one's priced at $275/mo (negotiable).
**Lease Opportunity:** Available now for $399/month. First month half-off on 6+ month commitment. Tenant handles maintenance, no junk/trash allowed—vehicles, equipment, trailers only. Serious renters: contractors, landscapers, roofers, HVAC pros, RV/boat owners, or small haulers.
Photos show current state: open gravel, hill/trees rear, sign (ignore—old listing). Easy to fence if desired. Development-ready if you want to build—lot's flat, access solid.
