Park Lane Apartments is an apartment complex of approximately 21 one- and two-story buildings owned by Evson, Inc. off Lane Park Road in Mountain Brook. It is located immediately north of Mountain Brook Village, behind Mountain Brook Shopping Center, and across the street from the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. The roads going through the complex are named Park Lane Court East, Park Lane Court North, Park Lane Court South, and Park Lane Circle. The property manager is Joy Ellis.
History
The complex opened in the 1940s. By 1949 it consisted of 96 one-bedroom, 168 two-bedroom, and 12 bungalow apartments for a total of 276 units.
Residents are allowed to plant gardens and construct patios within the complex, except for the front, facing Lane Park Road. As a result, fountains, sculpture, bird feeders, wind chimes and flowers are found throughout.
The complex has ocassionally been subject to flooding from nearby Watkins Brook. On June 14, 1999, a storm in the area dropped 4.5 inches of rain in 2 hours. This caused over two feet of interior flooding, damaging 72 units and costing $450,000 to repair.
