Considerations when choosing a Birmingham moving company
Moving to Birmingham doesn't have to be a stressful experience. Before starting your search, make sure you've gone through the following:
Must-haves, and what you'll be willing to compromise on. You may need to give up certain amenities to live in your favorite neighborhood, or otherwise look for a smaller layout or a different apartment type.
Your search horizon. The ideal time to start searching is between 1-2 months before your planned move-in date. However, don't be stressed if you only have a couple weeks to go; a surpising amount of rental inventory is usually available for immediate move-in.
Your favorite neighborhoods. We've put together a curated list below of some of the more popular areas to get you started on where to live - whether you're moving by yourself or with a family, looking for a residential area or one in the middle of the action.
Documents you'll need when applying for an apartment. These will vary depending on the landlord, but most require verification of employment and income, your credit report, and references from previous landlords.
Whether you'd like to live alone or with roommates. Roommates can mean considerable cost savings upwards of 50%-60% depending on the amount of people

Facts about Birmingham
The Vulcan statue looking down from a tower atop Red Mountain reflects Birmingham's industrial past. The Roman god of the forge seems to look forward to the future, over a city that is home to a growing number of Fortune 500 companies. An initial growth, which rose on the city’s natural resources -- coal, limestone and iron ore -- all used in the production of steel, led way to commentators nicknaming Birmingham, "The Magic City." More recently, banking, telecommunication, and construction have contributed to Birmingham's $48.1 billion combined personal income.
Home to the Alabama Ballet and the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, along with numerous art galleries and eateries, downtown Birmingham is experiencing a cultural and economic rejuvenation. A $55 million "Uptown" district sports several upscale restaurants and hotels. In fact, the flashy dance floor in The Club, a unique members-only club established in 1951, provided inspiration for director John Badham's Saturday Night Fever. Somewhat reminiscent of Prohibition-era philandering, "The Magic City" hosts hundreds of highly rated speakeasies. Harkening back to a 1920's glam, customers will find an array of secret bars creatively hidden throughout the entertainment districts.
