Great Location

I love being able to walk to class and get my groceries without driving. Regarding the units and amenities- they're nothing special but there also aren't any deal-breaking issues either.

Love it!!

I rent from an owner, and I got a very good deal! Its a 10 min walk to school for me. My only issue is parking because I do not have a spot in the deck, so I have to pay $80 a month to park in a deck across the street.

I like Bristol a lot but there are some things you need to be careful with

I love living here as a medical student. Management is very easy to reach, and it’s very quiet and calm. I also feel extremely safe. The pool is great and the gym is super convenient/kept well. Bristol’s proximity to school, publix, and a boatload of restaurants is extremely hard to beat. The fire alarm does go off from time to time. Parking is super convenient, but people drive fast and the parking deck is small so gotta be careful with that one.

Steps away from the hospital and med school...at a cost

Biggest selling point of living at Bristol is that it's about a minute walk to being in the hospital and about a 10 minute walk to Volker Hall (the med school). Many medical students and residents live here. However, major downsides include the management -- who is not very responsive and essentially never on the premises -- high cost/rent, and problems with packages being stolen on the regular or not being delivered properly in the first place.

Good location, solid apartments. However, management can be poor in responding to problems.

Good place in general

Bristol is a nice place to live. The condo is very nice, parking is great, and it’s a great location for UAB students. The downside is there is construction in the adjacent lot and an ongoing project on the building so there is a lot of construction noise during the work day. Also, there has been an issue with packages being taken lately. In general, it is a nice, quiet, and safe place to live despite these issues.
