More Than Real Estate.

A Guide to Tuscaloosa.

I’m Tricia Stone, and I’ve experienced Tuscaloosa as a visitor, student, University employee, volunteer, homeowner, and Realtor. That perspective helps me guide families beyond simply finding a house—through the neighborhoods, traditions, campus culture, and local resources that make this community feel like home.

I don’t just sell real estate. I sell Tuscaloosa.

The “tea in t-town” Parent Guide

Tuscaloosa can be a lot to navigate—especially if you’re new to the University, Greek life, off-campus housing, or short-term rentals. These free guides were created to help you understand the process before you’re forced to make a rushed decision. Inside, you’ll find practical local information on timing, costs, housing options, important questions to ask, and things families often don’t know until it’s too late. In the housing guide, for example, Tricia explains why planning often needs to begin during freshman year and how location alone can have a major impact on cost.
