After a long night at the hospital, many UAB nurses and downtown professionals crave the same simple comforts: a quiet space to relax and a loyal companion nearby. For UAB nurse Emily Roberts, her apartment at Rise Red Mountain delivers all that—and so much more.
Read on to hear why this nurse and her furry friend love this apartment complex.
Helpful commute? Absolutely.
Living close to UAB is a huge advantage for healthcare workers, and for Emily, it makes all the difference. With a short, stress-free commute, she can spend less time in traffic and more time doing what she enjoys in her free time: unwinding, recharging and spending time with Piper.
That extra time also helps maintain routines that benefit them both, like peaceful morning strolls on the walking trail to Vulcan Park and Museum and relaxed evenings at home.
The convenient location is ideal for anyone who works downtown. It offers quick access to the city’s major employers without sacrificing the quiet and comfort that are harder to find in urban settings.
A place that really feels like home
“Rise Red Mountain is the perfect place for me! Between the amenities, location and hard-to-beat views, I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
“As a nurse at UAB, I needed something close to work without being directly downtown—this apartment checked all my boxes. I highly recommend it to everyone!”

The interiors are clean and modern, the layout actually makes sense and there’s plenty of space for both her and Piper to feel comfortable.
Whether she’s having her morning coffee on her balcony or just winding down after work, it’s super calming. The views are great, and the whole place just feels like home.
Check out the dog park
The amenities at Rise Red Mountain blend naturally into daily life. The on-site dog park is a standout for Piper—shaded, spacious and well-kept, it gives her the freedom to roam and socialize safely. It’s a peaceful spot that makes walks more enjoyable for both of them.
Sweet fact: Piper is blind, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying her time outdoors. The calm environment and thoughtful layout of the park make it easy for her to navigate. This place is accommodating for all pups!
Can’t forget about the amazing staff!
Beyond the location and amenities, one of Emily’s favorite things about Rise Red Mountain is the team behind the scenes. The staff is known for being friendly, responsive and genuinely invested in the well-being of residents (furry ones included).
“Anytime I have a maintenance request or question, it’s taken care of so quickly. That kind of support makes a big difference,” Emily says. “Plus, they know Piper by name!”
