Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

close to shops. buses are rubbish but the train into town is good. the streets are messy and it's noisy on club nights.

Irrelevant.....

Alright, good bus to uni, local shop.

very lovely.It was a perfect location.easy to conmute .Nice view of birmingham from your balcony .

Selly Oak. Bit of a walk from Main Street and parking was difficult at times. Thin road so issues with two way traffic.

Less than a 10 minute walk to local shops, Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury's, and lots of places to eat.
Lots of bus stops nearby and local pubs, bars, gym, shops.

Rookery road was a LOT nicer to live on than dawlish where I lived last year a lot quieter and cleaner and felt a bit safer walking back at night. However still in selly and there were break ins and smashed cars. Much easier to park too

Local area is what you expect for a university 2nd and 3rd year housing. Selly oak has everything you need

The area is outside of the main Selly Oak area which results in a much quieter atmosphere if that is what you are looking for. However, this means that it is roughly a 30 minute walk to UoB campus and the main Selly Oak amenities

Nice like selly, everything available in walking distance.
Good takeaways and shops nearby
