The sprawling neighborhood of East Tuscaloosa provides residents with large, amenity-filled apartment complexes, as well as smaller condo buildings from which to choose. The whole neighborhood turns out for University of Alabama game days, often stopping at Baumhower's Restaurant to grab some wings to enhance the festivities. The university's presence, just to the west of East Tuscaloosa, gives parts of the neighborhood a college town feel.
With the Black Warrior River outlining the northern edge of East Tuscaloosa, residents of this neighborhood have easy access to whitewater paddling, fishing, and strolling along the beautiful river's banks. Residents enjoy shopping at the University Mall, anchored by Sears and JCPenney.

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.
