About the area

Student HubApartment LivingActive / YouthfulGame Day Central

Situated just east of the University of Alabama campus near McFarland Boulevard, University Lane is dominated by student apartment complexes and multi-family residential communities. The area caters heavily to university students and young professionals, offering close proximity to university facilities, athletic venues, and commercial dining. Its atmosphere is energetic during the academic year and significantly quieter during breaks.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
