Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Bournville Cotteridge, Birmingham

On a noisy main road with a bus route, near selly Oak station, near post office and student area. Didn't always feel safe, on one occasion had to run home from the bus stop because of being chased and was warned the post office cashpoint nearby had been tampered with.

Extremely ideal for walking to Selly Oak train station (10 mins) and close to Aldi and University as well. Also ideally placed to access the Orchard Learning Centre if you are a student at the University of Birmingham. Selly Oak does have a bad reputation and we have recently had our bin stolen and dog poo bags thrown in our garden!

Selly oak, the place to live if you are a student at UoB. Does the job but location of this house is quite far from uni and on a busy road
