Diverse homes in Woodland Forrest
Woodland Forrest homes sit on narrow drives and cul-de-sacs that cut through the Alabama forest. Some homes line up on the Tall Pines golf course with fairway views. Larger ranch and Colonial-style homes from the 1970s go between the mid-$100,000s and $400,000, while newer brick homes on smaller plots from the 1990s sell between the mid-$200,000s and mid-$300,000s. A few townhouses sit across from the elementary school and go from the mid-$100,000s to almost $200,000.

Hitting the links at Tall Pines
The Tall Pines Golf Club sits in Woodland Forrest, with its 18-hole course plotted throughout the neighborhood. “They’ve done a good job of upgrading the greens,” Patton says. Meanwhile, those looking to enjoy a different kind of greenery can head to the University of Alabama Arboretum, 5 miles away, where trails wind through untouched woods and curated gardens.

Location between Mercedes and downtown Tuscaloosa
Woodland Forrest is south of Interstate 20, but downtown Tuscaloosa and many of the city’s commercial areas lie north of I-20. Downtown is a 10-mile drive, while the University of Alabama is 7 miles away. The neighborhood is well positioned for those who commute to the Mercedes-Benz plant, a major employer 14 miles east off I-20. Birmingham is a 50-mile drive, where the nearest commercial airport, Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International, offers flights to destinations like Atlanta, Charlotte and Chicago.

Education at Tuscaloosa City Schools
Tuscaloosa City Schools serve the Woodland Forrest community. Students start at Woodland Forrest Elementary, which receives a C-plus from Niche, followed by Eastwood Middle School and Bryant High School, each receiving a C. Named for legendary Alabama Crimson Tide football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, Bryant High offers Advanced Placement courses and dual-enrollment programs with many area colleges. The state’s flagship college, the University of Alabama, is 7 miles from Woodland Forrest and enrolls nearly 40,000 students.Southern specialties at 20/59 Restaurant and Bar
While Woodland Forrest is primarily residential, residents have dining options across the highway. 20/59 Restaurant and Bar sits just off its namesake interstate and features Southern specialties like pork tenderloin, smoked chicken and its famous peach cobbler. Nearby Skyland Boulevard also has many fast-food options, like Jack’s and Waffle House. The Walmart Neighborhood Market just off Skyland offers groceries and other essentials. For a night out, residents often head the 10 miles into downtown Tuscaloosa for its restaurants and cocktail bars.

Woodland Forrest’s HOA events
The Woodland Forrest Association of Homeowners covers the neighborhood, with optional membership and $40 annual dues. The organization puts on plenty of events, including garage sales and a neighborhood summer festival. Tall Pines Golf Club also hosts holiday parties for its members. But in the fall, Alabama Crimson Tide football rules. The 18-time national champions play at Bryant-Denny Stadium, 8 miles away. Over 100,000 fans pack in to watch the game, and even more enjoy the tailgates. Traffic picks up throughout Tuscaloosa on gamedays, but Woodland Forrest is generally far enough from the action to miss most of it.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
