7 Apartment Amenities You Want (And Can Get!) in Your Tuscaloosa Apartment
Whether you're a student at the University of Alabama, one of the school's 1,300+ faculty members, or someone who simply wants to take advantage of everything that Tuscaloosa has to offer, you need a great apartment.
To make your new home feel like, well, home, here are 7 apartment amenities you should look for:
1. Private bedrooms and bathrooms
Many of the apartment complexes in Tuscaloosa cater to college students, but if you're a professional who will be living with a roommate, you'll enjoy having your own separate bedroom and bathroom.
2. Roommate matching
Speaking of roommates, a number of apartment complexes around Tuscaloosa offer a roommate matching service. If you'd like a roommate -- but you don't know anyone to ask -- this service is a great alternative to sites like Craigslist.
3. Individual leases
Like many college towns, a number of the apartment complexes in Tuscaloosa will offer a separate lease to each person who lives in the unit. That way, you don't have to worry about your roommate not holding up his end of the financial bargain. You'll be responsible for the terms of your own lease, and if your roommate misses a payment, you won't be on the hook for it.
4. Bus service
Like most college campuses, parking at the University of Alabama can be frustrating. But if you live at an apartment complex with complimentary bus service to campus, you won't have to waste precious time hunting for a spot. When you look at it that way, this amenity is worth its weight in gold!
5. A great clubhouse
So many of Tuscaloosa's apartment buildings are either new or updated, which means their residents have access to the most modern amenities. One thing that the newer complexes have is a great clubhouse. Inside, you'll find things like a 24-hour fitness center, a 24-hour business center (just in case your computer decides to stop working the night before that big paper is due!), and even small cafes where you can grab some coffee and connect to the WiFi.
6. New appliances
Granite countertops and fancy bathrooms are nice, but the amenity you should really be on the lookout for is new appliances. All of those new and upgraded apartments will come with them, which means your electric bill won't be driven up by old appliances that are anything but energy efficient. By the end of the month, those new appliances will save you a ton of money!
7. An online payment system
Many of Tuscaloosa's apartment complexes have an online portal where you can pay your rent by eCheck or credit card. That way, if you're sitting in Biology class when you suddenly realize you were supposed to pay your rent that morning, you can send the money in just a few smartphone taps.
