Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

Beautiful area with great links into town and elsewhere. Lovely and quiet with shops nearby

Close to friends and the university but it's incredibly loud from all the students. Not a particularly nice place to live but it's useful.

The area was nice overall, quite quiet as there were mostly families living around. Some neighbours were not quite as friendly though and we've had some issues.

Student area of Selly Oak is very close to the university of Birmingham (10 min walk) so perfect for getting to lectures. Aldi also very close by (5 min walk). Being a student area it can be quite load with parties going on nearby

Good transport links and near other students. Good distance from uni for the price!!!

Very very close to station, alright selection of shops. Student area, so neighbours are loud & there is often noise late into the night. Would Not recommend if not a student.

Close to university with good transport links and shops but can be a target for crime.

the property is right by university Southgate. Also there are two doctors nearby and a Tesco garage just around the corner

Extremely ideal for walking to Selly Oak train station (10 mins) and close to Aldi and University as well. Also ideally placed to access the Orchard Learning Centre if you are a student at the University of Birmingham. Selly Oak does have a bad reputation and we have recently had our bin stolen and dog poo bags thrown in our garden!

Selly oak, but closer to uni and near main road which makes you feel safer. Only 6 mins to the uni gates, and 10 mins to everything you need. Good location, its what you pay for in your rent as house not worth it.
