Housing Guides

General guides and reporting on housing, campus life and the city of Tuscaloosa — the pieces that do not fit neatly into leasing, neighborhoods or rental-market coverage but matter to students renting near the University of Alabama. This section includes apartment reviews of individual complexes, restaurant and bar coverage, campus and gameday explainers, local news that affects renters, and answers to the one-off questions readers send us. If you are looking for a specific complex, a specific street, or a specific number, start with the search box or the apartment directory; this archive is where the rest of it lives.
