Houses for rent in Alabama may seem like a dime a dozen. However, if you’re touring communities you’re interested in after UAB Match Day, you may find a lot of poor construction, older homes, outdated appliances, and antiquated floor plans as your top choices. In comparison, Fairin Realty’s rental community, The Heights, has incredible features such as modern two-story single-family homes with stainless steel appliances, fenced backyards, up to three bedrooms, and so much more! These new construction homes, a mere 15 minutes from UAB, offer medical residents an accessible lifestyle so they can focus on their educational journey. For more UAB match day rental tips, read on!

Take a Tour of Your New Home Before Moving In

Moving into a new home can be exciting, but before you show up on move-in day with a couch that’s too large for your living room or curtains that are too short for the window frame, take an in-person or virtual tour of the home you’re interested in. This helpful step will allow you to understand the dimensions of the space so you can make an informed decision on what will work for you, your family, or your roommates! Don’t forget to ask questions about the elevations and exterior colors of the home you choose because they will vary. Before you leave The Heights community, check out the amenities and see why this neighborhood is known as a place that prioritizes luxury living!
