Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

Its a student area so not recommended for families. Landlords charge extortionate amounts for tiny properties. Prone to break ins.

The property is situated in the student area of Selly Oak.
The property is right outside Selly Oak station so has really good transport links to Birmingham Newstreet. The property is also close to Bristol Road shops such as Aldi, Tesco’s, and Sainsbury’s. Although further away, the property is also convenient if you prefer to shop from Battery Retail Park.
The property is also close to pubs and bars on Bristol Road.
The property is also reasonably close to the University: 8 minutes to Grange Road Gate, 12 minutes to the Sports & Fitness Centre, 15-17 minutes to the Library.

The house is very close to uni and the gym, as well as all the local shops and pubs. There is constant transport available to us. It’s a very lively student area, but we are towards the outskirts which is good for around exam time.

It's Selly Oak. House close to Bristol Road, close to shops, close to train station, uni etc.

Great location for Uni Station and Selly Oak. Not too far up Tiv so tends to walk up to at night.

Rookery road is a nice road, feels safe. Close to bristol road and shops. Close to uni and the gym also.

Area was nice enough, close to Bristol road and the shops. Close walk to busses and multiple shops

Its selly oak, its good for students and the location is absolutely superb if you are a student.

Feels like a safer area than main selly oak, with ample parking around the area unlike some other places.

The house is Very close to everything on Bristol Road and university, overall excellent location.
