Brook Highland Movers: A Short Drive Down US 280

Brook Highland sits off US Highway 280 in unincorporated north Shelby County, a short drive down the highway from our headquarters at Perimeter Park. Tunj Control Moving moves households into and out of the one-and-a-half and two-story homes on half-acre lots inside the neighborhood, the garden homes and townhouses around it, and the apartment communities along the 280 frontage. We are locally owned, licensed, and insured, and five years into the business. Our 25+ movers are background-checked and uniformed, and the people who load your truck are the people who place your furniture at the other end. For a moving company in Brook Highland, the drive to your driveway is a few traffic lights down 280.

What Our Movers Run Into in Brook Highland

The neighborhood was established in 1988 and built out in phases, with about 795 single-family homes on public streets behind a brick-walled entrance with a gatehouse and a boulevard island. Lots run a half acre or larger, so a driveway holds the truck, but the walk from truck to door is longer than in a townhouse section. Most houses have three or four bedrooms on a second floor, which means stair carries for bedroom furniture. Several cul-de-sacs have landscaped islands in the middle, so we decide where the truck stops before it arrives. Brook Highland is an HOA community governed by the Brook Highland Homeowners Association, with covenants and an architectural review process for exterior changes. The garden homes, townhouses, and apartments around the neighborhood have shorter driveways and shared parking, and our movers adjust the load plan to fit.

More than half of the households in the wider Brook Highland census area rent rather than own, so apartment-to-house moves inside the same zip code are a regular job for us here. Give us the two addresses, and we will tell you which window on 280 makes the most sense.

The 280 Run Between Perimeter Park and Brook Highland

Our headquarters, 1 Perimeter Park South, is off US 280 beside Cahaba Heights, so the run to Brook Highland is a straight shot southeast on the same highway. Between I-459 and The Narrows, 280 is a six-lane split highway with signals at Cahaba Valley Road, Valleydale Road, Inverness Center Parkway, and Brook Highland Parkway. Traffic on that stretch roughly doubles at rush hour, by ALDOT’s count.

That timing shapes how we schedule. A morning load in Brook Highland starts after the push toward Birmingham clears, and an afternoon unload wraps before the evening wave comes back out. Downtown Birmingham is about 13 miles northwest, and Chelsea is about 8 miles farther southeast, and most Brook Highland residents drive 15 to 30 minutes one way to work. Local moves from here head up 280 toward Mountain Brook and Vestavia Hills, across to Hoover, or down toward Chelsea.
