Neighborhood

Five Points South wraps around the University of Alabama at Birmingham with the UAB Campus Green sitting in the heart of the neighborhood. The south end of the neighborhood contains the Vulcan Park and Museum and the Vulcan Walking Trail, while the north end contains Railroad Park Foundation and Regions Field. Five Points South is a historic district that was founded in 1893. It is considered the city’s food hub and is home to top restaurants like Bottega and Highlands Bar and Grill – winner of the James Beard Award.

As Birmingham’s entertainment district, Five Points South provides more than historic architecture, great food, and an energetic student vibe. You’ll also discover a variety of shops, coffee houses, the Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts, and a variety of festivals and events. Five Points South is very walkable and students often walk to and from class. Be sure to stop by the Storyteller fountain, created by local artist Frank Fleming.

Spectacular views!

The View on 18th is the best place to call home! I’ve lived here for 7 months, great neighbors, quiet community. The price is great, the owner is super easy to work with, and the property manager is always responsive. Maintenance requests are handled quickly, and the views of the city from the huge glass windows are absolutely stunning. Plus, having Birmingham and UAB police nearby makes it feel extra safe!

5/14/25
Love it here!

Plenty of parking. My last place only had street parking and my car got hit. So I am so appreciative that there is multiple parking lots to choose from. The property manager lives on-site so she is there when you need her and is super nice. Super cool view of the city. Neighbors are quiet and respectful.

5/3/25
Great apartments!

I’ve lived here for 2 years now and I feel like I never want to leave. The management is amazing and stays on top of everything with the property. The community that these apartments give is amazing and I couldn’t ask for better!

Property Manager at The View on 18th, Responded To This Review

Creating a strong sense of community is one of our top priorities and knowing that you’ve found that here means the world to us. Thank you for all your kind words.

4/2/25
Fantastic place to live!

I lived here for a year during college and had a great experience. The location is perfect—super convenient to UAB, restaurants, breweries, and more, yet tucked away enough to feel safe and peaceful. The complex is privately owned, and the staff was always incredibly responsive and helpful. One of the best parts is the breathtaking view—the sunsets are absolutely stunning! Highly recommend living here!

2/20/25
A safe space

There’s a reason the tenants here stay a long time! Privately owned and fast response times. No complaints in my 4 years at the view!

Property Manager at The View on 18th, Responded To This Review

Home sweet home

I’m going on year four and I love living here. Great location, killer view, responsive to maintenance requests (which I’ve had very few).

Property Manager at The View on 18th, Responded To This Review

Residents like you are the heart of our community, and we truly appreciate your loyalty over the past four years. Thanks for sharing your feedback!

2/11/25
Great Location and Friendly Staff

I have lived here on two separate occasions and have recommended this place to multiple friends and family. Several live in the units currently. The landlord and his staff are incredibly kind and responsive, Maintenance issues were addressed and fixed quickly. The location is great. It's a smaller complex and everyone seems to look after each other. Some of the best sunsets I have seen in Birmingham.

Property Manager at The View on 18th, Responded To This Review

Thank you for your heartfelt review and for being such a wonderful part of our community—twice! It means the world to us that you've shared your positive experiences with friends and family. We take pride in our responsive team, great location, and fostering a close-knit atmosphere, and we’re so glad those aspects have stood out to you. And yes, those sunsets are truly something special! Thank you again for your kind words and continued support!"

9/1/15
Decent

These apartments are decent. The landlord is really flexible and super friendly. I like the apartments and they are very affordable. I've only been here for 2 months, but I like it so far.
