Highland Crescent is the name of both a high-end housing development in the Highland Park neighborhood and the name of the road the development is on. The site was the original location of John Carroll Catholic High School from the 1940s to the 1990s.

Road

Highland Crescent is a cul-de-sac off of Milner Crescent. It runs east-west, parallel to Highland Avenue between the Elton B. Stephens Expressway and Milner, but at a higher elevation than Highland Avenue, overlooking Caldwell Park.

Development

Highland Crescent is being developed by Birmingham developer Jack Fiorella through his company Equity Resources Residential Inc. As planned, the neighborhood consists of 20 home sites. The original houses were designed by Dungan Nequette Architects in four styles resembling "old world European houses":

  • The Milner (3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 3186 sq. ft)
  • The Arlington (3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3810 sq. ft)
  • The Caldwell (4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 4011 sq. ft)
  • The Rushton (3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3899 sq. ft)

Prices ranged from $980,000 to $1.3 million. After construction began, Equity Resources and Dungan Nequette developed of a fifth style to reflect requests made by potential homebuyers. The homes feature many lavish features, including custom-designed home security systems, LCD television mirrors in the master baths, wiring for surround sound, granite countertops, hardwood floors, a central vaccuum system, double ovens, built-in refrigerators, under-the-counter wine coolers, and two-car, attached garages.
