West University — 9.1/10 Rating (based on 9 neighborhood reviews)
Close to UA and downtown! Beautiful historic houses and lots to do on 4th Ave. I frequently take advantage of the free street car to avoid having to pay for parking downtown because it's only a mile, but that can be rough to walk in the summer.

The apartment is located on the southwest corner of campus. It is near several many cafes, restaurants, and bars. Groceries and other needs are not super close, but there are stores near by which sell necessities. However, a Sunlink stop is very close, and commuting is easy.

Safe near the apartments, but a little sketchy to walk at night. Relatively quiet but very close to fun 4th ave.
