            This is a great apartment complex to stay in! Rebecca and the staff are fantastic. The Retreat at Greystone is one of the safest complexes in the metro Birmingham area. The community is gated, and there are more than enough parking spaces.

                                                  We have many air condition problems in my house which now are fixed. Also rent fee is a little bit higher than I are expecting and most expensive rent fee in our neighborhood so that I will not recommend it to my friend.
