Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Rookery road is a nice road, feels safe. Close to bristol road and shops. Close to uni and the gym also.

Area was nice enough, close to Bristol road and the shops. Close walk to busses and multiple shops

Its selly oak, its good for students and the location is absolutely superb if you are a student.

Feels like a safer area than main selly oak, with ample parking around the area unlike some other places.

The house is Very close to everything on Bristol Road and university, overall excellent location.

Selly is wonderful and Bournbrook is just on the edge of the nastiness so it's perfect

The location is amazing, right opposite Aldi. You have to walk down an alley to get to the flat which looks dodgy but its just the back of Pepes, Pizza Land etc and they are all really friendly. Because its out the way, its a lot safer than all the houses on the main roads getting break ins etc.

Selly Oak is dodgy but the road is relatively quiet and we're right next to tesco and uni.

Excellent links to transport; X5 Bus and very close to train Station.
Lidl pretty Close and town centre.

Can be noisy if you have a front bedroom and it's a Wednesday sports night, but otherwise fine. Short walk to all Bristol Road shops and amenities. We didn't directly witness as much crime as you might expect for Selly Oak.
