Some places just feel easy to live in—the kind where neighbors know your dog’s name and everyday routines feel a little more special. Tucked away near Greystone, this Birmingham apartment community blends thoughtful design with a welcoming atmosphere that residents say makes it feel like home.
Read on to meet some of these Birmingham locals who love their home at The Whitby and learn how they’ve found an elevated, resort-style living space that meets them where they are.
The perfect place for Disco the dog
For Brandon and his dog, Disco, The Whitby isn’t just an apartment—it’s a lifestyle designed with pets in mind.
The community offers extensive pet-friendly amenities, including the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Spa, the Ryecroft Meadow leash-free dog park and additional green spaces like Notting Hill Park.
Brandon and Disco enjoy cozy moments by the fireplace, proving that luxury living is not exclusive to humans but also applies to pets.
“I love that I can actually enjoy the amenities of my apartment complex with Disco.”
“The staff is so friendly and welcoming that Disco has basically become a celebrity around here. It really feels like a community, not just a place to live.”
Brandon, The Whitby resident
With thoughtful details and a pet-forward approach, The Whitby makes it easy for residents—and their four-legged companions—to feel right at home.
Pam and Leroy instantly found their home
The couple owns an interior design store in the Lee Branch shopping center, just minutes away, making proximity a major perk. But convenience wasn’t the only thing that sold them.
“I was working with the church across the street and had some time to kill, and I walked into The Whitby just to look around—and I walked out with a lease.”
Pam, The Whitby resident
They now live in one of The Whitby’s Carriage Houses, which offer added privacy, garage access and ample space—ideal for Pam’s creative work.
“With my work, I need room to spread out and work on projects.”
“The carriage house and garage really set this place apart. It gives us flexibility you don’t usually find in an apartment.”

They are also proud pet parents to a cat affectionately known as the “King of The Whitby.” The pet-friendly environment and attentive staff have helped them feel instantly at ease and comfortable.
Leroy adds that his favorite amenities are the on-site gym and the complimentary coffee machine, simple luxuries that elevate everyday routines.
Resort-style living for newlyweds Joe and Leeann
For Joe and Leeann, Birmingham natives who grew up in Homewood, The Whitby checked every box.
After getting married in May, the couple wanted a place that felt special—somewhere that blended comfort, community and space to feel like they could truly unwind.
“When we toured The Whitby, it immediately felt like a resort.”
“It honestly feels like you’re on vacation, even on a normal weekday.”
Leeann, The Whitby resident
They love their spacious floor plan, the thoughtfully curated amenities, and the diverse mix of residents that make the community feel vibrant and welcoming.
“There’s a real sense of connection here.”
“It’s one of those places where it’s easy to meet people and feel part of something.”
Joe, The Whitby resident
Fun fact: the couple even took home second place in The Whitby’s resident chili cook-off—a testament to the strong (and fun) sense of community.
A place that truly feels like home
From pet lovers and creatives to newlyweds and longtime locals, The Whitby Birmingham proves that luxury living doesn’t have a single definition.
