Overview and Location
My House on 13th is a student housing complex located at Tuscaloosa, AL 35401, USA, placing it within walking or short driving distance of the University of Alabama campus. The property offers a five‑bedroom (5b) unit layout, making it suitable for groups of students who prefer sharing an apartment. It is one of five student‑housing properties listed in Tuscaloosa on this platform, indicating a modest but competitive local market.
The complex is equipped with parking, a study area, and WiFi — three practical amenities that address common student needs. Based on the available data, the property will be available from 15 August 2026, which aligns with the typical academic move‑in schedule for fall semesters. No minimum lease term is specified; prospective residents should confirm exact lease durations with the operator.
Who This Residence Suits (and Who Might Look Elsewhere)
Suits best:
- Students who are comfortable living in a five‑bedroom shared apartment. The only unit type listed is “5b,” so this property is designed for those who want or need roommates.
- Residents who value on‑site recreational facilities: the unit types do not describe amenities in detail but the reviews mention a gym, tanning bed, pool, and grills. If these extras are important to you, My House on 13th appears to deliver.
- Students who appreciate responsive maintenance and community perks. Reviews highlight that the management fixes issues quickly and provides food, activities, and gifts.
- Those who need parking and a dedicated study area — two tags associated with the property.
May not suit:
- Individuals seeking a studio, one‑bedroom, or any layout with fewer than five bedrooms. No other unit types are available.
- Budget‑conscious students looking for the lowest possible rent. The city’s lowest student‑housing starting price is 639 USD per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). My House on 13th’s price is not publicly listed, but given its amenities and positive reviews, it may fall above that entry‑level figure. You should verify directly.
- Anyone who prefers a quieter, less social environment. The complex deliberately organizes activities and provides shared recreational spaces, which may not appeal to those who prioritize solitude.
- Students who need a 12‑month lease starting earlier than mid‑August 2026; the earliest move‑in date is 15 August 2026.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews provide firsthand insight. Here they are verbatim:
Lexie Marie (rating 5/5): “MyHouse on 13th is an amazing place to live in college. The complex is practical with all the amenities. If maintenance is needed, they are quick to come and fix whatever it is. They are clean, organized, and provide the residents with so many perks, such as food, activities, and gifts. No regrets with MyHouse on 13th!”
Taylor Spriggs (rating 5/5): “Love living at My House on 13th! The rooms are super spacious, the gym is amazing, and having a tanning bed on‑site is such a bonus. The pool area is awesome for hanging out with friends, and the grills make it really easy to do cookouts. Overall, great place to live and definitely recommend.”
Charles Williams (rating 5/5): “I am incredibly impressed with My House on 13th! My daughter is currently searching for housing, and we recently toured. The property was beautiful, and the staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming.”
All three reviewers give the highest rating. The common themes are spacious rooms, responsive maintenance, friendly staff, and a variety of added perks (food events, gifts, on‑site gym, tanning bed, pool, grills). One review comes from a parent touring on behalf of their daughter, which suggests the property is also viewed favorably by families.
The overall Google rating is 4.4 out of 5.0 based on 177 reviews, indicating that the positive experience is not limited to these three voices but appears consistent across a larger sample.
Price Positioning vs. the City’s Starting Rate
The city of Tuscaloosa has a student‑housing entry‑level price of 639 USD per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). My House on 13th does not have a published minimum or maximum price on this platform. Without that figure, a direct comparison is not possible. However, given the amenities listed (parking, study area, WiFi) and those described in reviews (gym, pool, grills, tanning bed, regular social events), it is reasonable to expect that the rent may be higher than the cheapest options in town. You should contact the operator to obtain a current quote and compare it against other five‑bedroom properties in the area.
All prices mentioned in this article are indicative — confirm with the operator. Rental rates are subject to change and may vary based on lease length, unit floor plan, and promotional periods.
Room‑Type Guidance
The only unit type available is “5b,” which almost certainly means a five‑bedroom apartment. No studio, one‑bedroom, or even two‑ to four‑bedroom options are listed. This means you will need to assemble a group of five people — or be willing to be matched with unknown roommates by the property management. If you are a solo renter looking for a private lease, this property may not be a fit unless the operator allows individual leasing within a shared unit (you should ask).
No information is provided about square footage, number of bathrooms, or furniture. Reviews mention “super spacious” rooms, but that is subjective. For exact floor plan details, inquire directly.
Booking Timing
My House on 13th becomes available from 15 August 2026. For a fall 2026 semester start, that date works well for many US university calendars. Because of its strong Google rating (4.4) and limited competition (only five student‑housing options in the city on this platform), the property may attract interest early. It is advisable to reach out to the operator as soon as possible — ideally no later than early 2026 — to secure availability for the August move‑in. No minimum lease term is specified; confirm whether they offer academic‑year or calendar‑year leases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the rent include utilities?
The data does not specify whether utilities (electricity, water, internet) are included in the monthly rent. The “Wifi” tag suggests internet is provided, but other utilities may be billed separately. You must confirm with the operator.
What is the minimum lease term?
No minimum lease duration is listed in the available information. The property is available from 15 August 2026, but whether they offer 9‑month, 10‑month, or 12‑month leases is unknown. Contact the operator to clarify.
Are the apartments furnished?
There is no mention of furniture in the listing data or in the reviews. One review refers to “super spacious” rooms, but that does not confirm whether beds, desks, or sofas are included. Ask the operator about furnishing status before signing.
