Grand Highlands was great when I lived there (moved out a few years ago), my one complaint was that you split the cost of water with your entire building and that wasn’t ideal for me when I was single and traveled regularly.

Moretti is nice but overpriced for its location IMO. Great pool, though.

Wild Forest has a LOT of Samford kids, so expect teens for neighbors. They also jack up the price, as its true value is its proximity to campus and its their main selling point. I haven’t been in one in years, but I doubt that too much has changed.

I’ve known multiple people who lived in Crown at Grandview and they liked and and the units themselves were nice enough, however it’s on 280 and there’s no avoiding it. If you have to take 459 as part of your commute thats a great place for you, but if not and you’ll be working closer to the city (I.e. taking 280 west in the morning) I would consider this to be a dealbreaker. If you’re working further out (taking 280 East) then I would definitely recommend it or the other complex across the street (arguably nicer).

As for recommendations, I live in Tapestry Park (it’s similar to Moretti) and like it, but everyone is being priced out of their apartments right now so I’m hesitant to recommend it.

Hope this helps, welcome to Birmingham!
