Hoover residents will soon have the chance to tour the newest and most innovative homes in the area as The Greater Birmingham Association of Homebuilders gears up for its annual Parade of Homes.
Parade of Homes Chairman Jason Hale said the event features the very best of the best in homebuilding with everything from design, interior decorating, technology and smart home capabilities.
“This year, my committee and I are looking to build upon the storied history of the Parade of Homes by adding new features to the single largest building industry event,” Hale said. “This lineup of residences is the best of the best—it’s a testament to the fact that we’ve got some of the most talented, hardest-working builders in the country right here in Birmingham.”

Hale said the Parade will feature more than 70 homes with a variety of price points.
“These aren’t all just multi-million-dollar homes,” Hale said. “We have a large selection of homes that range from lake houses on waterfront properties to more intimate communities. We have something for everyone.”
Hoover will be the location of both the 2025 Ideal Home and the Parade of Homes’ newest feature, The Neighborhood of Dreams.
The 2025 Ideal Home, developed by custom home builder Mancha Construction Partners, is in the Blackridge lakeside community subdivision off Highway 150. Mancha describes the home as “incorporating the latest in residential technology, elegant design sensibilities and sweeping lake views.”
The 2025 Neighborhood of Dreams is Primrose at Everlee, also located off Highway 150. The Neighborhood of Dreams was developed by Signature Homes, one of the South’s leading new home developers who also built Alabama’s first Smart Neighborhood at Reynold’s Landing in Ross Bridge in 2018.
“Signature Homes has brought us this new category of resort-style living with an emphasis on community, combined with modern design and technology,” Hale said. “You feel like you’re on vacation, but you still have the convenience of being close to restaurants, shops and entertainment.”
Hale said the Parade of Homes gives people “V.I.P. Access” to the work of the top builders in the country.
“You don’t have to be looking for a new home,” Hale said. “We have a lot of people who come out that are just looking for new home design ideas and want to explore the kinds of smart amenities that our new homes have to offer.”
An exciting addition to the website in recent years has been an online customizable “map” where people can see photos of each residence in the Parade of Homes and plan their own tour route.
“We will have more information on the website closer to the time of the Parade, and we will also have the magazine available with details about the homes for sale, each of our builders and floor plans,” Hale said.
Homes in this year’s parade will be open to the public April 25–27 and May 2–4 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each Friday and Saturday and from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
