I have lived in many places but The Retreat has been truly beautiful. A cozy place, away from the chaos of life.
I have been here 3 weeks, staff is great, apartment is spacious, quiet, no safety concerns, close to everything.
One of the best apartment communities in Birmingham! Clean, new, redone the right way, great and helpful staff, beautiful grounds and location. Floor plans are huge and updated nicely! Couldn't be happier here. I highly recommend this place.
The community is conveniently located to downtown, the airport and I-20/I-459. The saltwater pools are amazing. My apartment is the envy of my friends, who can't believe how much space I have for the money! I just renewed my lease and couldn't be more glad I live here!
