Are you planning a move to beautiful Homewood, Alabama? Relocating to a new area is exciting, but finding the right place to live can come with a lot of questions. Whether you are moving from across the country, starting at a local university, or just down the road, you want a community that fits your lifestyle, budget, and commute.
\n
\nTo help make your apartment search entirely stress-free, I have compiled and answered the top questions future residents ask us about living at Brookwood.
\n<\/p>\n
How close will I be to Samford University or UAB?<\/h2>\n
Our apartments near Samford University are just a 3-minute drive away, making it an easy bike ride or walk for college students. We are also located roughly 15 minutes from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), offering a quick and straightforward commute for campus attendees and healthcare professionals. You can spend less time driving and more time focusing on your studies or career.
\n<\/p>\n
Do you offer furnished apartments or furniture packages for my move?<\/h2>\n
While our units come unfurnished, we offer a preferred partnership with CORT Furniture Rental. You can select a custom apartment furniture package directly through them, or our leasing team can assist you with the ordering process. They handle complete delivery, assembly, and setup before your move-in date. This is the perfect stress-free solution for anyone relocating from out of town.
\n<\/p>\n
What school district will my children be zoned for?<\/h2>\n
Our community is zoned for the highly-rated Homewood City Schools district, which includes Homewood Elementary, Homewood Middle School, and Homewood High School. This is consistently ranked as one of the top school districts in the Birmingham, AL area. Moving here means giving your family access to exceptional public education.
\n<\/p>\n
How do I apply for an apartment as an international student or foreign applicant?<\/h2>\n
To apply as an international resident, complete our online rental application and pay the standard processing fees. We will then conduct a routine background screening and apartment income verification. If you do not have a Social Security Number (SSN), we accept alternative government-issued identification, such as a passport or visa. We work hard to make your international transition as smooth as possible.
\n<\/p>\n
Is this community considered off-campus student housing for local colleges?<\/h2>\n
No, we are not exclusive student living apartments, but we are a highly popular housing choice for local college students. Our diverse neighborhood welcomes a mix of students, young professionals, and families, creating a well-rounded and welcoming community. You get a peaceful environment that is still incredibly close to campus life.
\n<\/p>\n
What apartment amenities do you offer me as a resident?<\/h2>\n
Our pet-friendly community features premium local amenities, including two swimming pools, a fully equipped fitness center, an on-site dog park, and a spacious grass courtyard. Residents also enjoy a business center with free computers and printing, a complimentary coffee machine, an on-site laundry facility, and a free snack station. It is designed to give you everything you need right outside your front door.
\n<\/p>\n
How can I qualify for an apartment as a student without local income?<\/h2>\n
Students without active income can apply using a co-signer or guarantor. The student begins the online lease application and invites you as a "roommate," selecting the apartment guarantor option. You will receive an email link to complete your portion and pay the $75 application fee. To qualify, a guarantor must show verifiable income of at least 5 times (5x) the monthly rent amount.
