Our Take
Northport is a lovely small town on the outskirts of Tuscaloosa with a decent school system. However, it's located in a high-risk flood zone (AE) and lacks walkability, making it harder to get around without a car. While it's a relatively affordable place to live, the flood risk is a significant concern that needs to be weighed.
