Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

Nice shops, pubs and food places. Not the cleanest. Can be quite loud in evenings

Much nicer than Selly. Quieter, seems a little less dodgy at night, cute and nice to walk around. Close to Cadbury World. The Aldi is great, and I hear the new Lidl is too. The Morrison's is great too.

Decently safe and decent shops. Awfully full of garbage and rowdy students however, mostly on Bristol Road and above. Deeper in Selly Oak is quieter. Still has a trash problem though.

10/10 student area. Everything you need is in walking distance. Bit smelly with bins often overflowing but it’s amazing.

Nice area, near train station and shops

just a student area

What’s there not to love..

Definitely worse areas but also not the nicest

Did not feel very safe

The area seems busy and quite noisy, although this is normal and expected when living in the city centre. This was not a concern
