Alabama Cribs: The Hottest Spots To Live In Tuscaloosa After Getting The On-Campus Experience

In This Article:

Around this time of year, a lot of students are looking to transition off campus for future housing. Some students are stuck looking on the Facebook student ticket exchange or looking at all the advertisements and overflow of emails from all these apartments around town to live at. Provided just for you is a quick guide that lists some of the most popular places to live in the Tuscaloosa area that vary from location and price for your next adventures here in Tuscaloosa.

The Hub 

Rooftop pool with a clear view of Bryant Denny? Count me in. The Hub is a brand new apartment complex right on the strip that allows students to walk to campus and have access to plenty of bars and restaurants.

East Edge

Another complex close to campus, East Edge has a lot of space and amenities for students to take advantage of. From free snacks in the leasing office to yard area to walk your pups, this is a great spot to live.

The Lofts at City Center

Right in the heart of Midtown, The Lofts is a large complex that comes with several amenities including a pool, work out room, tanning rooms, and a second pool located at the other building.

The Cottages

One of the further locations from campus, The Cottages at Lake Tamaha is a whole community of individual houses. They are the cutest spots in Tuscaloosa, but it depends if you want to make the commute to campus or not. Not to mention the pool is LUXURIOUS.

University House

Located fairly close to campus as well, University House is one of the nicer apartment complexes that is also a little higher in price range each month. It is a great central location if you want to go to the strip, downtown, campus, or midtown, so it's a good option if you can afford it.

Houndstooth Condominiums 

Walking into this complex feels very cozy. Two advantages are for sure the 24-hour workout center and being a 3-minute drive to Taco Bell.

Woodlands 

Finding a roommate sometimes gets tricky and if you want to secure a place to live and not have to worry about the roommate situation definitely consider The Woodlands. They have roommate matching and options for everyone to still have a perfectly comfortable place to live.

University Downs 

Yes. The place beside cookout. Convenient right? The layouts vary depending on which condo you choose, but they all come with a huge amount of space and WiFi is included in your rent which is a HUGE advantage to all college students.

Crimson Student Living 

Sure, it's a little further from campus, but if you want to have some space away from the hustle and bustle of the Crimson Rides then this is a place you should definitely consider. They also have two dog parks that are fenced in by the pool!

Consider getting a house

Not into the whole apartment style life? You can get a house at any time. People are renting, leasing, and looking for roommates all year long all around Tuscaloosa, so if you want to skip the whole process of apartment or condo hunting, this is the choice for you.

Happy apartment hunting!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
