Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

The neighbourhood was quiet and just a short walk away from the high street. Connections with uni and the city center were a bit slow but acceptable.

Selly Oak is the best student ghetto in Birmingham, with good facilities, friendly neighbours and underrated cuisine.

The apartment was in walking distance of everything you could need. However, it was very noisy and freight traffic would cut down the road at nigh and sound their foghorns.

Relatively peaceful, but occasional noisy cars as it's near Broad St, and very occasional crime being inner city.

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
