Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

I mean, it's Selly Oak. Having said that, walkable to Bournville, Stirchley and Canon Hill Park which is great. V good Indian takeaway and chippy 2 mins away.

Selly oak is very conveniently located for the university, had lots of eaterys and shops. Many bus routes and train stations are very close by so transport links are very easy. However it is not the safest area or cleanest area

Selly Oak is a really good place to live as a UoB student, its convenient for the uni and has good places to eat and shops etc. High(ish)? crime so make sure to keep doors locked etc.

Top of Teignmouth so relatively quiet, never had bins pushed over etc, not loud at night. Off licence at top of road is great. Selly oak is still a bit grim though. Live a few doors down from Selly cat!

6 minute walk to selly oak train station, 1 minute to Tesco and 2-3 minutes to uni and Aldi. Bristol road is 30 second walk and has lots of shops and places for food. Not a nice place at night due to high crime rates.

As far as Selly Oak goes, good location! Near the station and Aldi and only a 15 min walk to uni.

Nice area, mix of students and families. Cars cut round the one way system when the junction is busy and are noisy and disruptive though

Good area in terms of shops etc, although a lot of crime. Close to the university so ideal for students

Selly Oak is a student hub which means sometimes it can be loud at night - but that is expected and would be hard to find a property that was secluded enough. 19 Lime Avenue is the perfect location - about a 10/15 min walk from campus and less than 5 minutes to Bristol Road - there is everything you need.

Smelly selly, noisy at night but has everything you need, loads of shops, pubs and restaurants.
