Woods of Hoover
The Woods of Hoover (formerly Crowne Woods and Crowne Hills and later Vista Woods and Vista Hills, then Galleria Woods Apartments ) is a 456-unit apartment complex located at 3801 Galleria Woods Drive off Alabama State Highway 150 near the Riverchase Galleria.
The complex offers 1, 2, and 3-bedroom units ranging from 850 to 1,400 square feet.
The complex was constructed in 2000 by Crowne Partners as part of a three-complex portfolio that also included the adjoining 240-unit Crowne Falls complex, completed in 1996. They sold the three to Harbor Group International of Virginia for $50 million in 2005. In 2007 they were acquired by Vista Apartments LLC, a division of the New Dawn Companies of Florida, for just under $66 million. The General Electric Capital Corp. forceclosed on the properties in 2011, and they were acquired by Birmingham's Vista Communities Venture that year, with Crowne Partners retained as managing partner.
In 2015 the complex was sold to a division of Zaremba Management of Fairview Park, Ohio. In 2019 it was acquired by BH Equities of Des Moines, Iowa.
