Niche Reviews 
The Ensley neighborhood on Birmingham's west side combines an urban setting with a unique agricultural focus designed to bring not only fresh produce, but entrepreneurship to one of the oldest communities in the city. With room for garden spots and produce markets along the 20th Street Corridor, Ensley lies approximately 10 minutes away from downtown Birmingham.
Family-sized apartments and studio apartments in Ensley welcome residents in the southwestern area of the neighborhood along Avenue E. Locals know they can indulge in authentic soul food at Sumthin Good Soul Food Restaurant. The popular IZabella's Italian Sandwiches food truck offers raved-about bites to grab for those on the go. For fun after sundown, ease over to Q's Bar and Grill for drinks and socializing.
