There are a lot of factors that go into what makes a house, or an apartment, a home. For residents and staff members at The Whitby Birmingham, the answer is simple: the people.

Here’s what five team members have to say about their favorite apartment community.

The Whitby’s beauty drew them in, but the community made them stay

When I asked what originally brought the team to The Whitby, everyone’s answer centered around the same thing: a one-of-a-kind community that felt like home.

“After traveling the country with my wife Kaliah, we decided to move back home to Alabama. What drew me in [to The Whitby] was initially the property itself, elegant but cozy cottage-like.

After meeting the team, I knew The Whitby was where I belonged!”

The small but mighty team came from different parts of the country, but circumstances brought them all to this local apartment community at the same time.

“After four years of working at new construction communities in Huntsville, my sister told me she was expecting a baby! I knew I had to move back to Birmingham to be closer to her, so I looked for a new community. Lo and behold—I saw The Whitby and knew it was where I had to be.”

Similarly, Georgia relocated to take the reins on Birmingham’s newest construction community.

“I relocated to Birmingham just for this community, and ultimately due to the opportunity to establish a welcoming environment from the start.

I knew The Whitby was going to be a great new addition to Birmingham seeing the exceptional level of detail put into this community behind the scenes and I was thrilled to help bring it to life with people.”

Georgia, Community Manager, The Whitby

A great place to build connections

Whether it’s saying “Hi” to a resident in passing or chatting with them for hours at an event, The Whitby team is eager to meet new faces and welcomes future neighbors.

The community has been busy with residential activities like Bingo night, a recipe swap and cocktail nights—all of which allow neighbors to spend some quality time with each other, which is what community is all about!

“I love board game nights. It makes for the best icebreaker for new residents to feel welcome in the community.”

Michael, Resident Services Supervisor, The Whitby

Cynt is known as the “Castle Keeper” within the realms of The Whitby, and she loves talking to residents about it.

“My favorite thing to do with the residents is to discuss cleaning! I get really tickled when they ask how they should clean something or what product they should use.”

Cynt, Housekeeper, The Whitby

It’s not just the staff who can’t get enough of the friendly community—residents are saying the same thing.

“Future neighbors should know they are moving into a community of very friendly and good-quality neighbors. We’ve loved everyone we’ve met so far.”

Wherever your busy life takes you, if you live at The Whitby Birmingham, then you always come home to that “big happy family” feeling.

“The Whitby doesn’t just offer a new apartment, it offers an overwhelming sense of community that our team has had the pleasure of experiencing with your neighbors.”

Georgia, Community Manager, The Whitby

If you need a little more convincing—come and see it for yourself!

“I think what future neighbors should know can only be experienced by visiting. They should know that when they move in, they are going to be welcomed by their neighbors.”

Chance, Assistant Community Manager, The Whitby
