Tuscaloosa, AL Apartments for Rent

Tuscaloosa stretches along the Black Warrior River in west-central Alabama, where it earned the nickname "the Druid City" for the water oaks planted throughout its downtown streets since the 1840s. This former state capital, which served Alabama from 1826 to 1846, is now home to the University of Alabama and the Mercedes-Benz manufacturing plant. Those looking for apartments for rent in Tuscaloosa will find everything from historic downtown properties to modern apartment communities near campus, with one-bedroom units averaging around $979 per month and two-bedroom apartments averaging $1,156.

Renting in Tuscaloosa means easy access to jobs at the university and automotive manufacturing facilities, while the Riverwalk along the Black Warrior River provides outdoor fun and hosts concerts at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater. The downtown area features the historic Bama Theatre and plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance of many apartment communities. Commuters appreciate the quick access to Interstate 20 and Interstate 59, connecting Tuscaloosa to Birmingham about 50 miles to the northeast. The city's tree-lined neighborhoods, affordable rental rates, and mix of Southern history with college-town energy make it a smart choice for anyone seeking housing in west-central Alabama.

Why Tuscaloosa?

  • Catching a University of Alabama Crimson Tide football game at the Bryant-Denny Stadium.
  • The DCH Regional Medical Center, which contains one of the busiest trauma centers in the state.
  • Visiting Moundville Archaeological Park, one of the most significant Native American archaeological sites in the country.
  • Hiking, camping, and marveling at the historic buildings and Civil War era furnaces at Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park.
  • Touring the Mercedes-Benz factory and visiting the museum and visitor’s center.
  • Cruising the Black Warrior River on the Bama Belle Riverboat from the Port of Tuscaloosa.
