Tuscaloosa homeowners know that they've moved to a special place: a friendly city with plenty of Southern charm, good schools, nice neighborhoods with affordable homes, and plenty to enrich the lives of the residents. So if you're looking into Tuscaloosa homes for sale but you're wondering just what makes Tuscaloosa so special, we can answer that question right now.

Here are just a few of the things our real estate agents find that stand out about Tuscaloosa.

1. Tuscaloosa Amphitheater. 2710 Jack Warner Parkway, Tuscaloosa
   You can't beat music under the stars at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater. The calendar really revs up in the spring when the weather warms, with Hank Williams Jr. and the Old Crow Medicine Show on May 12. Owned by the City of Tuscaloosa, the amphitheater holds 7,470 patrons. It sits on 15 acres by the scenic Black Warrior River. It's easy driving distance from the University of Alabama campus and a few blocks from downtown. The amphitheater is also the site of the annual Celebration on the River, the city's free July 4th celebration.
   
   
2. Tuscaloosa Riverwalk. 2710 Jack Warner Parkway, Tuscaloosa
   Do you love getting out for a walk where you can commune with nature, but also you're close inside the city limits so you don't have to drive far? We've got just the place with the 4.5-mile Riverwalk, which runs beside the scenic Black Warrior River. This dog-friendly walk has beaches, gazebos, and lots of shade for picnics and for cooling off. There's also a Visit the playground near the Tuscaloosa Public Library, or the splash pad at the Bama Bell dock for the kids. Start at the Amphitheater loop (lots of parking at this end). Also, the path is well-lighted, so if you want to walk in the evening, be our guest.
   
   
3. Tuscaloosa River Market. 1900 Jack Warner Parkway, Tuscaloosa
   These days, cities big and small are hosting farmers' markets, giving the local community an opportunity to purchase homegrown produce, and in Tuscaloosa, the venue is the Tuscaloosa River Market. You can sample the best in what your neighbors are growing, or how about locally produced arts and crafts, as well as entertainment? The Farmers' Market is tons of fun, so you won't miss out on homegrown food when you move to Tuscalosa. What's more, the River Market is for rent for special events such as weddings, banquets, sporting events, and others.
   
   
4. Bama Theater. 600 Greensboro Ave. 
   Who doesn't love going to a live theater event? And no place is quite so special in our town as the Bama Theater.  This historic theater, currently being lovingly restored to its 1930s glory, is home to varied events, including plays, indie movies, beauty pageants, choral events, dance exhibitions, and more. The interior of the building evokes the Italian Renaissance, with distinctive Public Works Administration murals, faux balconies, terra cotta tiles, cherub plaques, and a small alabaster fountain.
   
   
5. The University of Alabama. Wallace Boulevard. Turn right at University Boulevard and travel east through downtown Tuscaloosa to the UA campus
   Tuscaloosa is a fabled college town with The University of Alabama residents and all that implies. From fabulous sporting events (go, Crimson Tide!) to college courses and programs, lectures, art exhibitions, musical events, plays, workshops and seminars, and meetings and conferences, UA is a community in itself, with deep roots in Tuscaloosa and a reputation for giving back.
