South Tuscaloosa’s 35405 blends suburban calm with college-town convenience. Centered around the Hillcrest/Taylorville area along Highway 69 S and Skyland Blvd, it offers leafy neighborhoods, warm hospitality, and easy highway access. Summers are hot and humid with mild winters; locals head to Snow Hinton Park, Bowers Park, and the Bobby Miller Activity Center for playgrounds, fields, pools, and fitness. Everyday needs are close by—Publix at Hillcrest Marketplace, Walmart Supercenter on Skyland, plus coffee spots, bakeries, and a casual dining scene heavy on barbecue, meat-and-three, and Mexican. Shopping corridors feature big‑box stores and services, while nightlife stays low‑key; the University of Alabama and Shelton State are a short drive for arts, sports, and events. Zillow market trends show recent median asking rents in the mid-$1,200s, with most listings roughly $900–$1,700 per month. The area is widely seen as family- and pet-friendly with plentiful yards and green space.
