Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

Mostly residential area has a few corner shops nearby. 15 minutes away from the bigger shops, but close to you the silly oak retail Park and sainsbury's

In the heart of selly oak, everything is nearby! Less than 5 mins to walk on campus, 2 mins from aldi, 7 mins from Selly station, busstop is also 1 minute away, also have selly soak at the bottom of Dawlish road which is useful in winter months when nothing dries in the house. Lots of food options nearby too and pubs. Only thing is that the street can be quite loud on wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings/night.

Selly Oak, It was a student area which was shops. Very good location, close to Aldi and Tesco express and only 5 minutes for sainsbury's. Only 3 minutes to train station too.

Good area, shops and transport are close

Close to station, good distance from campus etc.

Selly Oak, so loud and messy. Wednesday nights are the worst due to Sports Night. Good transport links, great selection of shops and restaurants. Close to the university.

Loud neighbour on one side - young children with a constantly screaming mother.

Refuse workers do not give you your bin back outside your house - you will have to go searching for it. Other houses rarely put their bins away.

Selly oak, abit far from campus but near the station

Local area is good, there is five ways station in walking distance and two bus stops as well. Frequency of buses during day time and on weekdays is better. I have not used trains as much. Good eating places around. It's in the centre of Morrisons, londis, shell select and tesco. Very close to broad Street where it's lovely on weekends usually. Pubs are very close. Both gym group and pure gym are right around the corner. It's connected with the canals.

Near by aldi,bus stop and morison

Selly is a mixed bag but this area isn’t too bad. Can be noisy at night but being on the corner helps with neighbours. The bins sometimes don’t get taken and people will put their rubbish in, but otherwise it’s not too bad and v close to the Tesco.
