    South Eastlake

    What's it like to live in South Eastlake?

    Highland Park

    What's it like to live in Highland Park?

    Historic character defines Highland Park, where Birmingham's distinguished neighborhood offers architectural significance and mature landscaping minutes from downtown employment. The district features distinctive properties from Victorian mansions to Craftsman bungalows creating streetscapes increasingly valued beyond purely functional housing considerations. Highland Park's elevation provides both spectacular city views and natural cooling through hilltop positioning reducing air conditioning requirements increasingly valuable as energy costs continue affecting overall housing affordability calculations, while strategic positioning between both downtown Birmingham employment and Five Points South entertainment creates ideal convenience for professionals seeking sophisticated environments beyond purely practical considerations increasingly important as quality-of-life factors continue affecting housing decisions.

    Five Points South

    What's it like to live in Five Points South?

Here’s how Birmingham ranks on:

Overview of Findings

Apartment List has released Birmingham’s results from the third annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. This survey, which drew on responses from over 45,000 renters nationwide, provides insight on what states and cities must do to meet the needs of the country’s 111 million renters.

"Birmingham renters expressed general dissatisfaction with the city overall," according to Apartment List. "Some categories received above average scores, and many received near-average scores."

Key Findings in Birmingham include the following:

  • Birmingham renters gave their city a C overall.
  • The highest-rated categories for Birmingham were pet-friendliness (A), affordability (A-) and quality of local schools (B+).
  • The areas of concern to Birmingham renters are state and local taxes and public transit, which both received D grades.
  • Birmingham did relatively poorly compared to other Southern cities like Atlanta (B), New Orleans (B), Charleston (A-) and Columbia (B-).
  • Birmingham did relatively poorly compared to cities nationwide, including Houston (B+), Chicago (B-) and Raleigh (A).
  • The top rated cities nationwide for renter satisfaction include Scottsdale, AZ, Irvine, CA, Boulder, CO and Ann Arbor, MI. The lowest rated cities include Tallahassee, FL, Stockton, CA, Dayton, OH, Detroit, MI and Newark, NJ.
