Current Resident: Smiths Station is a great warm hearted town, overall great community and fantastic mayor. It’s now on the move towards a modern age and growing economy. This community always comes together for any and everything no matter who it’s about or what’s happening. This community as a whole always has an open heart. I’ve been a resident in many different areas of Smiths Station and my experience has always been lovely. By no means is Smiths Station a big fancy city like Atlanta or perhaps Birmingham, but it’s the perfect hometown. The school system is also great. Being only supported by county funding it provides perfect spirit and support with quality education and an awesome social life providing many students in every school. Smiths Station will always be home and I wouldn’t change that for anything.... Read 21 reviews

Current Resident: Cusseta is a little town that is very quiet. I love that everyone is friendly and tries to help everyone else out. I wish that the town would develop a little more to entice more people to move here. It is close to a military base which makes it even more patriotic than most towns.... Read 5 reviews

Current Resident: Phenix City, Alabama is truly amazing! Yes, it's not a big huge city like New York City, but let's say you're retired and you want to get away from the big city and want to stay in a quiet peaceful town. Phenix City is a great city to stay in! Or let's say you're not retired and you just want to go on a getaway with your family. You want to get away from the big city and your job and you just want to relax. Trust me, we've all been there. There are so many amazing lakes to relax and enjoy some coffee out on your porch and enjoy the marvelous sunsets and sunrise. But wouldn't you want to have a little fun? I would think so! You can swish the waves while riding an epic jet ski, go fishing, go fishing, and even go tubing! Afterwards, you can gather around and enjoy a cozy campfire and make some delicious s'mores! Alabama may not be the most biggest city, but it sure is nice, warming, hometown to stay in.... Read 140 reviews

Former Resident: Columbus isn't as bad as people make it out to be. There's plenty of fun places to go and spend time with friends and family. There's also tons of stores and restaurants to go to! The schools are also pretty good, for the most part. The high school I went to, Rainey-McCullers School of the Arts, is a fantastic school that I highly recommend. Overall, I believe that Columbus is a pretty nice city.... Read 590 reviews
