Reston Place

Verner Elementary, Rock Quarry Middle School and Northridge High School

Just across the Black Warrior River on Rice Mine Road is Reston Place, an expansive community with gatehouses at each entrance, a charming little lake and plenty of trees. Residents can often be seen walking their dogs through this neighborhood, which has an array of options for those who want smaller homes and yards. You’ll find traditional garden homes and townhouses, too. On Rice Mine Road near the popular Cypress Inn restaurant, Reston Place is minutes away from downtown Tuscaloosa and Northport and the University of Alabama. Crimson Tide fans have discovered it’s a great place for a game day house.

Houses range from 1200 to 2000 square feet; prices are typically $145,000 to $190,000.
