Potential home buyers and builders can visit the latest construction techniques and home trends at this year’s Parade of Homes. Among the 60 plus new homes highlighted on the 2014 Parade, 20 villages also will be featured across the greater Birmingham area. Parade villages are new home communities with at least one home entered in the Parade. These villages offer a special opportunity to learn about the features and amenities of the communities in which Parade homes are located.
An annual event since the early 1960s, the GBAHB Parade of Homes inspires unique design and a high level of craftsmanship. “The Parade gives people the opportunity to tour some of Birmingham’s most elegant and beautiful new homes, ” says Matt Morrow, executive vice president for the association. “It’s an annual tradition for a lot of families.
