UAB students, unlock your academic and professional potential by taking advantage of all that The Retreat at Mountain Brook has to offer those who are serious about their studies.
First on the list? Location! The Retreat at Mountain Brook is nestled on picturesque wooded grounds in a quiet neighborhood setting adjacent to Birmingham, Alabama, only a quick drive away from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the anchor of one of the world’s most-renowned medical communities. Publix, Starbucks, restaurants, breweries, and entertainment options abound, and it’s also just minutes from the city’s international airport, making it easy for students to travel, whether as part of their program, to visit home and family, or just for fun!
The gated community’s legendary apartment homes, spacious and airy, offer high-speed Internet and office/study space, so those who are pursuing graduate and terminal degrees in all fields can have an area dedicated to their work and reliable online access. And of course they also come with a washer and dryer, as high-quality kitchen appliances. Don’t want to spend time that you could devote to studying cooking? No problem! DoorDash drivers know the way to 1600 Sharpsburg Circle!

3 Bedroom/2.5 bath Townhome
MDs and MBAs, optometrists and epidemiologists, and dentists and PhDs are among the many who already call The Retreat at Mountain Brook home, so the two clubhouses are great places to meet up with like-minded people who can offer guidance based on their experiences. They’re also excellent locations for study cohort sessions—and, of course, celebrations of all kinds, especially commencements!
Another advantage to living at The Retreat at Mountain Brook, which is extremely pet friendly, is the easy access to onsite fitness options. The two 24-hour fitness centers are fantastic, featuring a variety of multi-function machines, resistance bands, rowing machine, wide range of weights, and treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes.
Want to exercise outdoors? There are two tennis courts, and three saltwater pools. You also can of course relax on the sundeck by those same pools, and enjoy grilling out and eating al fresco at one of the dining terraces, or your own balcony.
