What to Know Before Renting an Apartment in Birmingham, AL

Apartment communities across Birmingham range from mid-century garden courts to new mid-rise buildings. When comparing apartments in Birmingham, weigh monthly rent against parking, storage, and in-unit laundry — those three amenities drive day-to-day satisfaction more than square footage alone. Many complexes offer online applications and virtual tours; still verify noise levels and commute routes before you sign.

Birmingham Neighborhoods for Apartment Renters

Vestavia Hills/Cahaba Heights

Places for rent in Vestavia Hills and Cahaba Heights feature apartments, townhomes, and large single-family homes. Local inventory consists of luxury rentals, especially 2-bedrooms and 3+ bedrooms. With new construction and modern interiors, rental prices are usually above the Birmingham metro’s average of $1,132/mo. US-280 and I-459 transit routes provide easy access to Downtown Birmingham and Mountain Brook. Vestavia Hills and Cahaba Heights are the best places to rent homes in Birmingham, AL, for families looking for spacious, pet-friendly properties with yards and for professionals seeking proximity to offices and retail.

Five Points South

As one of Birmingham’s most walkable districts, Five Points South consists of apartments, historic condos, and a few townhomes. Most units are studios and 1-bedrooms, but many apartment buildings are still pet-friendly. While some places for rent in Birmingham are renovated, most units in Five Points South are older. However, rents still trend above Birmingham’s average price of $1,132/mo due to walkability and urban amenities. Five Points South offers quick access to Red Mountain Expressway and university shuttles, but many renters walk or bike. The area is best for University of Alabama at Birmingham students and young professionals without cars.

Mountain Brook/Crestline

With luxury townhomes and condos alongside single-family houses and a few apartments, most of the inventory in Mountain Brook and Crestline is 2-bedrooms and 3+ bedrooms. Some of the area's older buildings feature high-end renovations and landscaping, driving rents that are consistently above those in other places for rent in the Birmingham metro.
