Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Harborne, Birmingham

495 harborne park road was just under 10 minutes to UoB campus, the train station, big Sainsburys, and about a 15 minute walk to Harborne high street and Selly Oak Bristol Road. There is a bus stop right opposite the house, which you can get into town using 'bus hop' (1 pound if you show your student id). Harborne is also a lot safer than Selly Oak (the other side of campus). Also, only a 2 minute walk away from Grove Park to enjoy good weather. The closest pub is Copper Fox, which is about a 10 min walk and was amazing Indian mixed grills and a really nice pub garden.

Good area, close to the park, university/train station, Harborne high street and local buses.

The neighborhood was mostly quiet; you could find a mix of students and families. We had an instance of antisocial neighbours behaviour but it was no major issue. The house is very well connected to University, the Hospital, the train station and the Harborne High Street.

Great neighbourhood just off harborne high street. Coop at the top of the road is incredibly useful. Very friendly neighbours. Only drawback is that it is right opposite a school so parking in the morning (8.30-9) and at hometime (about 2.20-3.30, the school has staggered end times) is very difficult. Often we would have to park 5-10 minutes away, difficult if you have bags of shopping!

Harborne is lovely and being right in the center of it is very nice. But not on the nights of Friday and Saturday when Slug and Lettuce closes its doors in the night. Fights, shouts, people weeing on walls, police and ambulance...

Very convenient for the QE, buses into Birmingham etc.
