A diverse community with plenty of things to do and multiple parks and recreational activities. The restaurants in and around Alabaster are also fantastic. One downside is that rent is quite high, even for smaller apartments, but it is well worth the money. The schooling has also been great. Alabaster is also close to the University of Montevallo, which provides a great option for off-campus housing while still being within 15 minutes of the campus.
Alabaster has a small town feel- but with interstate access comes lots of dining/shopping choices! Property values are on the rise. Since the city took over the school system, much improvement has occurred and more is on the way!
I have lived in Alabaster since I was born and this is home. The community is supportive of all parts within the city from school systems to businesses and any who need assistance. Alabaster City Schools also provides the fundamental teachings from Kindergarten through your Senior year and beyond.
Changes within Alabaster would more apply to the accessibility of locations and attractions for events as well as relaxation. We need more involvement to provide additional resources that our teens may have a safe and local environment.
