Hi Tan,
If you like a small town atmosphere with a great school system, I would recommend that you check out Trussville. They have their own school system. It was a back-to-back Blue Ribbon winner (which is rare). Unforturnately (maybe) Trussville does not have any apartments but we do have home rentals. Housing, at the moment, with the low interest rate and tax credits is a great time to buy. Maybe you could lease/purchase, etc. It is a great place to live. It is still community driven. If you would like to see what kind of home you can get for your money, send me an email with your needs and I will be glad to send you an email of home on the maret with their prices. My email is: jthrasher@realtysouth.com. (PS I have lived here for over 20 yrs & we have had 2 businesses in Trussville so I am prejudice!). - Sun Nov 29 2009, 19:31
