Neighborhood

West Tuscaloosa is a sprawling suburb just minutes from the city’s downtown district. Students of the University of Alabama and renters who work in the city’s business district appreciate the area’s central location. The majority of apartments, houses, and condos available for rent sit on the eastern side of Interstate 359 nearing the university. Make the short walk to Bryant-Denny Stadium to cheer on the Crimson Tide at their home field, explore the Alabama Museum of Natural History, or take a trip to the Paul W. Bryant Museum. Housing options in West Tuscaloosa are very affordable, making it the ideal suburb for renters on a tight budget.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
