Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

Its the main student area so great for convenience and socialising. Shops and the university campus are a ten min walk from where we live which is ideal. Its not the safest of areas but I’ve never had a problem, anyone ive met has been really friendly.

A bit messy and bad bin collection

Very close to shops resturants and gyms. Would recommend to people studying in Birmingham

Very nice area and convient as next to local amenities such as restaurants, groceries and gyms

area is very nice and very close to university and amenities such as gym, shops and restaurants

Selly Oak is a large area. The main student area is towards Tiverton Rd. Other areas towards the edge can be nicer.

Area is OK. Mostly students but OK area.

Pretty dodgy at times but the road the house is on isn't too bad. Bins are collected regularly and we've never had any pests. Anyone looking at living in Selly knows what it's like in general knows what it's like, but Raddlebarn is the nicest road in the area. Close to 2 green areas, lots of food places, morrisons/Aldi, and a school nearby (which has never been too noisy for us). It's a 15 minute walk onto campus, and 30 minutes to the medical school via the canal.

pretty far down hubert road, but honestly its fine. easy to walk to raddlebarn to convenience store, or to go that route (raddlebarn -> bournbrook) to Sport and Fitness. also closer to Bournville and Stirchley if you want to go there. pretty close to the station, like a 5 minute walk if ur v fast. not far from Aldi, plus Aldi's on ur way home from campus. street bins and rubbish situations sometimes pretty bad but like, thats selly, oh well.

Lovely road, quieter than many others in Selly Oak streets. Only issue is bin stealing so just keep track of your bins.
