Five Points South wraps around the University of Alabama at Birmingham with the UAB Campus Green sitting in the heart of the neighborhood. The south end of the neighborhood contains the Vulcan Park and Museum and the Vulcan Walking Trail, while the north end contains Railroad Park Foundation and Regions Field. Five Points South is a historic district that was founded in 1893. It is considered the city’s food hub and is home to top restaurants like Bottega and Highlands Bar and Grill – winner of the James Beard Award.
As Birmingham’s entertainment district, Five Points South provides more than historic architecture, great food, and an energetic student vibe. You’ll also discover a variety of shops, coffee houses, the Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts, and a variety of festivals and events. Five Points South is very walkable and students often walk to and from class. Be sure to stop by the Storyteller fountain, created by local artist Frank Fleming.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at The Hillside Apartments
These apartments suck now! At first when I moved here everything was ok before I got a upstairs neighbor who walks all day! The walls are paper thin!! You can hear everything had drug bust over here once! Drug dealing is at its high over here had my car broken in twice!!! And ppl just hanging out all times of night..I’m most certainly getting ready to move they can have this dump!
Pretty much you get what you pay for. There's always some drug activity in the parking lot. The vent system sucked. We used to have a neighbor that smokes pot next door and it ALWAYS comes through our cents. There's always problems with our apartment such as our A/C keeps shutting off in the middle of the summer. Everything in our apartment before we moved in was jerry-rigged to hide all the imperfections left by the previous tenant. Parking always will be full by 6pm. And people will ALWAYS hit your parked car because the parking lot is so crappy. Also, the walls are extremely thin so you can hear EVERYTHING from your neighbors.
