Albertville, AL

7 Apartments for Rent

The city of Albertville and its residents have overcome a lot in its history. Albertville was greatly destroyed by "The Great Cyclone" on April 24, 1908. Over the course of the past century-plus, Albertville has come back to be an aspiring and cozy community of Alabamans.

Up in the north eastern corner of Alabama with a current population just sneaking past 21,000 residents (per 2010 U.S. Census data), Albertville was once in the middle of clashes between Union and Confederate forces. There was also a devastating cyclone that leveled most of the town in 1904. Given its rich history of strife and natural disaster, it's no wonder that people think the area is haunted! All of that is long past, but you can still get a glimpse of a bygone era, when reenactments are put on for the town and visitors alike. Albertville is a small town with big aspirations.

Moving to Albertville

To prepare to move, you will want to make a thorough list of your must-have needs so that you don't forget when you talk to your broker about possible availabilities. Needs like having a fenced yard or a garage for your car might seem obvious to you, but they aren't in the mind of the broker that you should be using in your search. Once the list has been made and checked twice, you will need to get your references -- both personal and professional -- and your credit score and keep them together for easy access when you need to show them to a potential landlord. Last but not least, you need to make a budget and stick to it! How much do you need to put down for fees, deposits, first and last months' rent. Having all of this in order before you begin your search, will make what can be a difficult process, so much easier.
