Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

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

Area's good for Uni of Birmingham students as it's so close to campus but the area itself is pretty grim.

Its the main student area so great for convenience and socialising. Shops and the university campus are a ten min walk from where we live which is ideal. Its not the safest of areas but I’ve never had a problem, anyone ive met has been really friendly.

A bit messy and bad bin collection

Very close to shops resturants and gyms. Would recommend to people studying in Birmingham

Very nice area and convient as next to local amenities such as restaurants, groceries and gyms

area is very nice and very close to university and amenities such as gym, shops and restaurants

Selly Oak is a large area. The main student area is towards Tiverton Rd. Other areas towards the edge can be nicer.

Area is OK. Mostly students but OK area.
