Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

Good location for shopping on Erdington high street and easily accessible transport links

We had no issues with our neighbours. Parking was easy to load/unload. It is a bit unattractive with all the wheelie bins outside.

Neighbourhood was fine. Buses were nearby and restaurants, shops, petrol garages, etc.

Neighbourhood was great. Great people. 5 mins to shops and schools.
Shame that the house owner ruined it for everyone

A good road in Selly Oak, it is a quieter road compared to some of the others and gives easy access to uni and Selly Oak

Selly Oak is the student area for students of the University of Birmingham so is not a quiet area

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!

At first glance the local area is great. It has close links to the city centre with loads of regular buses into town. Even an Uber is relatively cheap. It was also close to Harborne and Bearwood high streets. However, there are also quite a few unsavory elements - drug addicts and prostitution is common.
