Both sides of the river, and beyond

Guides published

• Tuscaloosa, Alabama The city on the Black Warrior — a university town, a hospital town, a manufacturing town, and four or five distinct housing markets sharing one name.
• Northport, Alabama Across the river from downtown Tuscaloosa, with its own downtown, its own school district, and its own way of doing things.
• Brookwood, Alabama Coal country east of Tuscaloosa, with its own high school, real acreage, and an interstate ramp that puts two cities inside an hour.
• Buhl, Alabama West of Northport on the Highway 82 corridor — unincorporated, uncomplicated, and cheaper by the acre than anywhere closer in.
• Coaling, Alabama A small town on the corridor between Cottondale and Vance — modest, quiet, and closer to the plant gate than almost anywhere.
• Coker, Alabama Where the county starts, just north-west of Northport — land and quiet without committing to a long drive.
• Cottondale, Alabama Tuscaloosa's closest eastern neighbor — county schools, an interstate ramp, and a short drive that stays short.
• Duncanville, Alabama On Highway 69 South, in the stretch where Tuscaloosa loosens its grip and the land opens up.
• Echola, Alabama North-west county farmland, well past the last subdivision — small, quiet, and not pretending to be anything else.
• Elrod, Alabama North-west of Northport near the Highway 82 corridor — rural, small, and closer to a main road than its neighbours.
• Fosters, Alabama Farming country in the south-west corner of the county, where the land is the point and the market moves slowly.
• Gordo, Alabama Small-town Alabama half an hour west of Tuscaloosa — acreage, quiet, and a very different price per square foot.
• Holt, Alabama On the river immediately east of the city — the closest-in address in the county, and the most misjudged one.
• Lake View, Alabama A young town on the corridor east of the city — newer houses, a county line at one edge, and two metros within reach.
• Moundville, Alabama Sixteen miles south on Highway 69, with a thousand years of history at its edge and a county line through the middle of town.
• Ralph, Alabama A small rural community in the south-west of the county — genuinely quiet, genuinely small, and honestly described.
• Vance, Alabama The plant town on the interstate — where a shift schedule, not a school run, usually decides which street you want.
• Woodstock, Alabama Bibb County on the interstate, facing Birmingham first and Tuscaloosa second — the far eastern end of where we work.

Not sure which one you want?

Most buyers arrive knowing a budget and a commute rather than a neighborhood. Tell us those two things and we will tell you which of these eighteen are worth your Saturday.
