Crestline Village is one of the three original commercial "villages" in Mountain Brook. It is an example of the typical small-town main street and includes Mountain Brook City Hall, Emmet O'Neal Library, Crestline Elementary School, and numerous small businesses. It is located along both Church Street and Euclid Avenue, and the intersection of these two streets is a prominent focal point in the village, marked by a clock tower.
Although part of the original 1926 plan for Mountain Brook, Crestline Village developed after Mountain Brook Village and English Village. The area was originally the center of the community of Crestline Heights, which later was annexed into the City of Mountain Brook. Unlike the curvlinear winding roads throughout Mountain Brook, Crestline Heights features a gridded, square street system with service alleys.
