Looking for apartments for rent in Avondale, Birmingham, AL? Hickory Hill is a boutique 4-unit apartment community just steps from Downtown Avondale — walk to Avondale Brewing, Saturn, The Goose, and Avondale Park. Avondale is one of Birmingham's most walkable neighborhoods, known for its local breweries, live music venues, restaurants, and green space, making it a favorite for renters who want city life without needing a car.
Built in 1985 and renovated in the 2010s, Hickory Hill blends classic Avondale character with modern updates. Every unit comes with its own in-unit washer and dryer and off-street parking, so you can skip the laundromat and the hunt for street parking that comes with a lot of Avondale living.
With only 4 apartments total, no two units at Hickory Hill are alike — each has its own layout and personality. Because every unit is different, we highly recommend touring Hickory Hill in person to find the floor plan that fits you best.
New residents must set up their electric accounts with Alabama Power and water/sewer accounts with Central Alabama Water.
