I'm used to having plenty of land to step outside in your birthday suit and no one sees you! However.... moving into the Regency Summit shook me to my little country core. I love being in a safe place with a guard on attendance 24/7. I love having a pool, sauna, gym and steam room all within a few steps. I love that I have two balconies to take in the Birmingham sites from. I love that I don't have to fight traffic or even leave my unit to see the fireworks from Vulcan at 4th of July. I love being able to watch storms roll in and I'm safe and secure on my 6th floor. But most of all, I feel so grateful that I get to watch my new city and home wake up with the morning sunshine and go to sleep with all the lights twinkling back at me. Coming from Fairhope, I am often asked when am I returning to my house in the country.... well let's just say I have no plans in the near or far future. This is my home and I'm in love with my new city.

Don't get confused, they all three look the same, but are all very different. What makes this location so great is the Birmingham view, the amenities and the people who live there. Honestly it's a mixed, but most people initially think it's an older crowd.....well....maybe it was at one time. Ironically, these building have a neat history, maybe if you stop by we'll be able to tell you. Until then, happy Yelping! :)

Watch amazing sunrises and sunsets every day. Kind, respectful neighbors. Extremely solid, quality construction. Great soundproofing inside the units. Common areas all recently renovated and updated. Security gate with guard. Salt water pool, tennis courts, gym with new equipment, library, party room, storage, etc. Truly a hidden gem. I'm 35 and may well end up living here for decades. Everyone who visits me for the first time is blown away. For those with allergies, note is a pet free facility.

Right off of the Highland Avenue area with great parks and walking trails this truly is a hidden gem. The pool and patio area is a beautiful place to relax and unwind. There are rules in place to make sure all residents have a safe, quiet and clean environment to live in. Between the wonderful gas lamps and lush greenery that make up the landscaping and a fountain at the entrance complete with fish, you find yourself completely at ease in the heart of a bustling city. I highly recommend this property and encourage everyone to visit it if they are in the market for purchasing or leasing a condominium in downtown Birmingham. It is complete with an on-site gym and the common areas are meticulously maintained and blown and swept weekly. Management is also super responsive and professional and are there to help 7 days a week.

Also, there is a pool, which is nice during the warmer months. Units are a little small, esp for two people, but for a single person, they are adequate. Sadly, there isn't much parking, so if someone has a lot of guests over, it can hard to find a spot. And I wish they'd put up a roof over the gate code entry box so that you don't get soaked while entering a code/calling someone to let you into the community.

Renters beware. Other than just generic poor management (or poor choice in hiring property…read moremanagers), look what happened to their Waterford Landings Apts. property in Hoover. 2 decks collapsed killing a whole bunch of people in July. It happened once, then two weeks later, it happened again, and it took the efforts of the City of Hoover after a couple of weeks after that to actually tell people to stop using their decks. Then Engel finally put up their own notices. This isn't just a case of "poor management" this company now has a history of criminal negligence. When I was apartment hunting, I was recommended Waterford Landings from someone who lived there before, and I tried to contact the people; the main contact I had before had been fired, and I never heard back from anyone else. This was around the time of the massive destructions; of course I hadn't heard of those horrible incidents until recently (I've only been in the area for 2 weeks). Now I'm really glad I didn't try to rent there (cheap or not)...

The building is surrounding a pool, with carpet on the grounds. The units doors and window face the pool;each have an ac unit under the window. This is one reason for mold.

I'm moving my daughter out and suggest they renovate for the health of these students.

While I was skeptical about living in a split-level town home, it was the best decision I've made. The community is beautiful, and the staff have been nothing but helpful.

While the apartments aren't brand new, they are well-maintained by management who has an investment in the community. I can't recommend them highly enough. A+++!
