Park Lane is getting old gracefully! With every new day it gets better like a well aged wine. As soon as I walked in I felt like it was a warm familiar place to make my home. The spacious floor design, superior location, excellent staff, and charming landscaping makes this the best deal in town!

THE GOOD:
Instead of bustling cars and lights in your windows, you'll experience a very peacefull place, where you wake up and hear birds singing in the many trees sourrounding the village area. It's very close to everything you could want or need... the Botanical Gardens, the Zoo, the Mountain Brook Village, the great walking trails, not to mention the great Davenports Pizza Palace and Starbucks just down the street. The staff and repair crew are a pleasure to work with "currently" and fix anything ASAP. They even have a laundry service. The walls are concrete and block out so much noise I can barely hear my phone in the other room. Since the apartments are old the rooms are more spacious then newer ones and have some fun charms, like the doorbell.


THE BAD:
If we had to dig up any bad news, is that it's true the south side apartments will flood every blue moon. Get some flood insurance if you live on that end. The city is working on resolving that and the apartment owners price those flood risk apartments cheaper. If you like frills don't move here. There's no fireplaces, no pools, no patios, no tennis courts and no washer/dryer hookups and a very dated kitchen.

OVERALL SCOOP:
It's a quiet place that will not tolerate noise and wild parties. It caters to serious professionals, college students and retirees who like to have our fun elsewhere. You'll never regret moving here and leaving will be like saying goodbye to an old friend.
