Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

Slightly further out but less noisy. Good price. Longer walk but depends on priorities

This is the better side of selly oak, ideal for students not on campus as much and for those based in the medical school

Reasonably close to shops, very close to station, okay walk to uni (25 mins, although think was advertised as less)

Very good location for a uni student so close to uni and also right by all the shops.

Selly Oak is a student area so is frequently targeted by crime and tends to be noisy occasionally. However this road is close to the University of Birmingham and only a short walk to the train station, without being near the loud and busy Bristol Road.

The property is very close (2 minute walk) to Selly Oak station as well as local bus services from Bristol Road. It is a 10 minute walk from UoB campus and close to a supermarket (ALDI) and other shops and services.

Close to train station, 20 mins walk to campus and close to the retail park and selly park.

It's a bit of a dodgy area but if you're street smart you're fine. We live next to a skate park which isn't kept very nice.

Selly Oak has its own known issues with crime but transport links easy and the house is in the heart of selly far enough from Bristol road but not too far up

It's Selly Oak so not amazing but Dawlish Road is pretty good - very wide and well lit so you feel very safe, the house is near to the train station and the shops so overall a good location.

Of course you have your bins kicked over on Wednesday night and get woken up by screaming at 4am on Satruday after Fab but that's what you expect from Selly Oak...
