From matching you with a local agent who knows UAB's Southside and Birmingham's over-the-mountain neighborhoods to securing a $0-down physician mortgage, we handle your relocation from match day to move-in — completely free for doctors and residents.

UAB anchors a large academic medical campus in Birmingham's Southside district, just south of downtown.
Residents who want to walk or bike to campus often live in Southside, Highland Park, Forest Park, or Avondale, while many choose the "over-the-mountain" suburbs — Homewood, Mountain Brook, and Vestavia Hills — for a short, scenic commute.
Birmingham combines a low cost of living with a revitalized, walkable downtown, an acclaimed food scene, and easy access to the Southern Appalachian foothills. A warm climate keeps you outdoors much of the year.
From the energy of Southside and historic Highland Park to the tree-lined streets of Homewood and Mountain Brook, the Birmingham area has a fit for every stage of training, with short commutes throughout. We'll help you weigh commute, budget, and lifestyle and connect you with a local agent who knows the market and a resident's schedule.
