Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

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.

Close to Selly Oak main street and Uni of Birmingham. Also close to Selly Oaktrain station

Bournville is beautiful, full of quaint properties with a great vibe of British village life.

Selly Oak is a great student suburb, very close to the university and has lots of amenities.

Selly oak is selly oak but quieter end of road so not too much noise but still good distance to campus

It's Selly Oak, it's not great, but it's a good spot for a student. Close to campus and shops but far enough away to escape the noise, mostly.

Neighbourhood is great and very safe. Edgbaston is lovely but this is not because of the agency.

Beautiful area with great links into town and elsewhere. Lovely and quiet with shops nearby

Close to friends and the university but it's incredibly loud from all the students. Not a particularly nice place to live but it's useful.

The area was nice overall, quite quiet as there were mostly families living around. Some neighbours were not quite as friendly though and we've had some issues.
