     Management

    The prices are not correct and the communication is awful. The texts seem computer generated.

    Apartment was in the process of being renovated but everything looked great.

     Management

    Very professional and kind, also very timely with responses. Very helpful all around, just make sure to ask a lot of questions.

    Centered on Avondale, Forest Park, and Crestwood, 35222 mixes historic bungalows, leafy hills, and a creative, neighborly energy. You’ll find walkable pockets around Avondale Park’s pond and amphitheater, Crestwood Park’s fields and track, and lively 41st Street S with Saturn’s shows, Avondale Brewing’s concerts, and an easygoing dining scene—think Post Office Pies, Saw’s Soul Kitchen, Melt, Big Spoon Creamery, and coffee from Domestique (plus nearby Crestwood Coffee Co.). Everyday needs are covered with nearby grocery options and indie shops along Clairmont Avenue and the Avondale commercial district, while quick access via 5th Ave S, the Red Mountain Expressway, and I‑20/59 keeps downtown close. The climate is humid subtropical—hot summers, mild winters—great for year‑round porch sitting, short bike hops, and park time with pups. Zillow Market Trends in recent months show a median asking rent around $1,450, with many listings ranging roughly $1,100–$2,000, drawing a blend of young professionals, families, and longtime residents who enjoy community events, patios, and live music.
