Why Leasing a Home in Patton Crest is the Right Choice

Alex Danaila • October 26, 2023

2023 has been a year for the history books. The shifting economy contributed to the rising costs of real estate and increased interest rates, making it difficult to purchase a house. Many home builders have already begun the task of lowering their prices and offering promotions on their homes to try and entice potential buyers; however, the fact remains that single-family homes cost more money, and fewer people are eligible to buy them responsibly. But that’s where Fairin Realty comes in!

We build for-lease single-family homes in Greater Birmingham that are ideal for working professionals and families who want the benefits of more living space, affordable monthly payments, and on-site maintenance and repair without the pressure of owning a home they can’t afford. We built our newest community, Patton Crest, near Hoover, AL, to accommodate this need and help more people live the way they want in the community they love! And now, until the end of October 2023, we are offering our Healthcare Heroes Discount; those who sign a lease this month will receive $50 off their monthly rent! This is just one reason why leasing a home in Patton Crest is the right choice for you!

Looking to lease a new home this year? The benefits of this choice will decide for you! 

Fixed Monthly Costs 

When you lease a home at Patton Crest, you regain time in your day to do what you love. You won't have to pay for significant maintenance, repairs, or property upkeep. Instead, you'll know what you need to pay each month without worrying about unanticipated, expensive repair costs. Now, you can spend your weekend having fun with your loved ones rather than mowing the lawn and dealing with pest control. 


More Living Space

Patton Crest currently has move-in ready 3-bedroom homes available now! These 1-2 story open-concept homes have 2.5 bathrooms, a private attached car garage, and a dedicated office space, making this an excellent setup for a large family that needs room to spread out. Our large chef’s kitchen with subway tiles, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops takes contemporary design to new levels! Each full bathroom includes an upgraded walk-in shower, an adjustable showerhead, and plenty of countertop space and cabinets. You’ll also have a laundry area with a washer and dryer, so keeping your clothing clean and tidy is easy. You won’t find these perks in an apartment community!

A Better Life for Your Pets 

Now, your furry friend can have the life they’ve always deserved. Our pet-friendly features at Patton Crest can’t be found in any apartment complexes or similar for-lease neighborhoods in the area. With a fenced backyard, a doggy door, and a fenced dog park in the community, your pet can enjoy more freedom, improving their overall quality of life. 


Ease of Accessibility 

We built Patton Crest near Hoover, AL, so you’ll have access to the Greater Birmingham area for your shopping, dining, and entertainment needs. Imagine living only a few minutes away from your favorite grocery stores like Publix® Super Market and Costco® Wholesale, which are both only a 5-minute drive from your home. You can grab a cup of coffee from Starbucks™ in about a 2-minute drive, and for a quick hot breakfast option, the closest Chick-fil-A® is 4 minutes away. For more information about accessible local shops and eateries, check out our blog, Get to Know the New Patton Crest Community. 


Additionally, living in this community allows you to have shorter commute times to work and school, and on weekends, you’ll spend less time in traffic since the city and major highways are just a few miles away from your front door.

Patton Crest is the perfect community to lease a home in this month. These incredible benefits and deals won’t last long. The days of trying to fit all your guests around the table for Friendsgiving or canceling the gift exchange at your place because there simply is not enough room are over!

When people think about renting, an apartment is often the first thing that comes to mind. But an apartment isn't the only way to rent. Single-family rental homes offer another option for those who want more privacy, space and the features that come with a house. If you're comparing rental properties, here are a few things to look for when deciding what type of rental fits your lifestyle. Privacy That Feels More Like Home One of the biggest differences you'll notice with a single-family rental is having more privacy and space that's truly yours. With your own entrance, private outdoor space and fenced yard, you have room to enjoy your space without sharing walls or common areas with neighbors. Space That Fits Your Life Single-family rental homes offer floor plans with multiple bedrooms, flex spaces and more room to spread out. That can mean more options for hosting guests, working from home or creating a space for your hobbies. Maybe that's a dedicated home office. Maybe it's a mahjong table that's permanently set up or walls of bookshelves for your ever-growing home library. Having the extra space means you can make it your own. Open-concept floor plans can also make everyday living feel more spacious, while features like coat closets, walk-in closets and additional storage help keep everything organized. Parking That Actually Works for You Having a private driveway and attached garage is one of those everyday conveniences you might not think much about until you have it. Pull into your driveway, park in the garage and bring the groceries straight inside. No searching for a parking spot or carrying everything across a parking lot. Amenities and Convenience Choosing a single-family rental doesn't mean giving up the amenities and conveniences that come with community living. Depending on the community, that might mean a fitness center, pool, clubhouse, coffee bar, green space or dedicated dog park. You can have more privacy at your own front door while still having places to get outside, meet your neighbors and enjoy the community around you. Maintenance Without the Hassle One of the biggest benefits of renting is having someone else handle the maintenance. You get many of the benefits of a single-family home without being responsible for every repair and maintenance task. When lawn care is included, you don't have to spend your weekends cutting grass or figure out where to store a lawnmower and weed eater. And when something needs to be repaired, you have a team to call. A rental home can give you many of the things people love about owning a home, without the long-term commitment or maintenance responsibilities that come with buying. At Fairin, we believe renting shouldn't mean compromising on the way you want to live. You can have the privacy of a home, the convenience of a professionally managed community and the flexibility that comes with leasing. Lease your home. Own your life.

Maybe you came to Birmingham for a medical residency, graduate program or a fresh start in a new city. Maybe you're waiting for your new home to be built or figuring out where you want to settle next.

Buying a home isn't the right move for everyone, and that's okay! Depending on your stage of life, renting may actually be the smarter financial and lifestyle choice.
