Advenir at Station 121

We've had to get some minor repairs during the first 4-5 months of living here, but overall the unit is nice. I didn't give it a 10/10 because the staff can be difficult to get in touch with over the phone, and there is only one option for internet/cable (AT&T). It can also be a bit noisy at times (upstairs neighbors are loud), but that can happen at any apartment complex. I think the location and overall quality of the apartment make it worth it.

Some big pros to the complex are the gated parking garage, apartment gym, and mail lockers. I feel pretty safe, especially for being downtown. There's also a Publix, Starbucks, and Chipotle conveniently located 1-2 blocks away.

I enjoy living downtown and being within walking distance from campus, but a new construction project just began across from the apartment complex that makes it hard to focus in the apartment.

Southside station was fine. The apartments are on the older side and it isn't the friendliest area of town, but the management was pretty hands-on (sometimes too much). The apartments had some dumb easy stuff to fix but never were like drawers that wouldn't close right or a sliding door that was messed up. They got mad at me when a bird decided to attack the window screen as if I had something to do with it. There was one time they almost towed my car despite living there for over a year and having the same car with the same parking sticker. The parking is amazing though to be honest and is definitely the best selling point. It sits above restaurants so my 2nd floor apartment was really hot in the summer because of the kitchens. 3rd and 4th floor apartments shake a lot when helicopters fly overhead (3-4 times a day). Super convenient for medical school or hospital employees.

This is a very spacious 1b/1b apartment. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Volker and has three restaurants below, with six more restaurants, Publix, and Chipotle one block away. Susan Quinn is the property manager and she is very attentive to all the needs of the residents. There are quite a few homeless that sleep in this area, but other than that I have no complaints.

Great location for UAB employees

Very safe apartment with an on-call security officer. Quiet, mostly family and young professionals. All maintenance is on-site so you only have to wait an hour when you have a maintenance problem. They have an on-call security officer for emergencies and noise complaints.
