Mountain Brook Estates is a 400-acre residential subdivision between Montavallo Road and Shades Creek in Mountain Brook. It was developed by Jemison & Company beginning in 1926.

The development was designed by landscape architect William Kessler and engineer John Glander with input from Robert Jemison, Jr and Boston-based consultant Warren Manning. The development was marketed as "an exclusive estate section for country homes, where cultured persons can preserve those fine traditions of aristocratic country life which the Old South knew in ante bellum days."
