Between finding your new for-lease home at The Heights, moving your belongings into your space, and relocating to a different city, some questions may arise about being a new resident. To address any concerns that you may have, we have five tips for new residents at The Heights. Check out these tips to get the answers and advice you’ve been looking for.

Determine How Much You Can Afford for Monthly Payments

In today’s housing market, it’s not just a tricky time for homebuyers; people looking into for-lease single-family homes are also having difficulty finding a monthly payment that fits their budget.

That’s why we kept the prices of our new for-lease homes in Irondale affordable, so you can live luxuriously in a community you love without breaking the bank.

Schedule an In-Person Property Tour


Seeing the new home you’ll move into in person is important to ensure you get what you need. There is no worse moving fear than hauling large furniture sets and potted plants inside to realize that your belongings don’t quite fit into the space. An in-person property tour will provide a better understanding of exactly how much space the rooms and storage areas contain. We offer tours for all available move-in ready homes, so your family and pets can settle in with peace of mind. 


The Grand Clubhouse and Pool

Identify What Amenities You Need 


The Heights in Irondale is known for many things. Our affordable for-lease homes near Birmingham are the most notable features; however, the amazing
neighborhood amenities set our community apart. The benefit of moving into a for-lease community is the added perk of using our luxury facilities. We have a resort-style pool, fitness studio, outdoor putting green, dog spa, fenced park, and multi-use clubhouse, which our residents love to use with their family, friends, and neighbors. Living at The Heights means you won’t have to worry about the extra costs of a separate gym membership, traveling outside your neighborhood for a quick swim, or to play fetch with your dog. 


Take a Picture of the Home Before Moving In

In the hustle and bustle of moving into your new home at The Heights, take a moment to take pictures of your new space before settling in. This step is vital because it ensures you aren’t liable for any pe-existing conditions. Because these homes are brand new, the probability of any issues with the house is slim, but it’s good to take precautions just in case. Hold on to these photos, and if you decide to leave the community, you have the evidence already prepared that you didn’t cause the damage, so you don’t have to pay for additional repairs.


Purchase Leasing (Renter’s) Insurance 

Many for-lease communities require residents to have renter’s insurance on file as an extra precaution in case the unthinkable happens. We agree it’s a wise decision for any property leaseholder or owner. At The Heights, we have installed several extra security measures, from the controlled front gate to the Smart Home Technology equipped in each home (including a Ring Doorbell with hassle-free keyless entry), so you can feel safe in and around your new neighborhood. 


The Heights Community Entrance

This year, moving in can be a seamless process with Fairin Realty. With these five tips, you’re on your way to becoming an informed new resident at The Heights! There are only a few houses left in the community. Contact Fairin Realty today for more information about our available move-in ready homes in Irondale and receive a FREE MONTH OF RENT when you sign a new lease with us in October 2023.
