Long regarded as the heart of Tuscaloosa, downtown epitomizes the best of what Alabama has to offer. Because it blends business and pleasure so well, downtown remains one of the most sought-after apartment rental locations in the city. Residents who don't work in the neighborhood find it easy to commute. Lurleen B. Wallace Boulevard bisects the neighborhood, making it easy to get across the river or out of the city altogether.

Several parks and a scenic river view make Downtown simply beautiful. The Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, located next to Interstate 359, regularly plays host to popular musicians and orchestral events. Locals in the mood for a laid-back, Hawaiian vibe head down to Mugshots Grill and Bar, which serves its savvy diners the "best burgers in Tuscaloosa." People on the prowl for finer dining visit Epiphany, in which talented chefs transform the best local ingredients into truly inspired cuisine. Both restaurants conveniently sit along Greensboro Avenue.
