Love the Weather! 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) After having lived in Alabaster, AL for a few years now, I can honestly say that I love it here! My favorite aspect of this beautiful city is the gorgeous, sunny weather that I crave. I no longer have to suffer through unbearably cold winters. Alabster, AL has the perfect weather ...Read More for me year round.

In today's world, it can be difficult to find a safe place to live. With a low crime rate, I feel safe in my own home and around the city. The employment rate is high, and the cost of living is low. You couldn't ask for anything more.

The weather, the low crime rate, and the fact that I can comfortably afford to live here would be enough for me to stay here forever. Yet another reason I have chosen to make Alabster, AL my forever home is the convenience of having everything I need close by. I can do my grocery shopping, pick up my prescriptions, browse the unique local shops and boutiques, go to the gym, and spend the day at the park all without leaving the city I live in! Read Less
