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

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
