Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

It's Selly Oak so not amazing but Dawlish Road is pretty good - very wide and well lit so you feel very safe, the house is near to the train station and the shops so overall a good location.

Of course you have your bins kicked over on Wednesday night and get woken up by screaming at 4am on Satruday after Fab but that's what you expect from Selly Oak...

Neighbourhood as expected, Heeley is a main road. But front door and back all very secure.

Selly Oak is a unique place mainly for students, little traffic along the street and feel safe on Rookery.

Transport links were very good, however the neighbourhood was a bit rough. Local shops nearby and not far to walk into the town centre.

Selly Oak is a great area for students, plenty of pubs and shops while very close to the University entrance

Just Selly Oak, north road isn't too noisy apart from the occasional noise from a loud group in the beer garden at the goose. Well lit road and feel safe because of proximity to main road. Permit required for parking on north road.

Very close to uni and shops so location was ideal for us. Small street near main road so well lit and so safe and friendly to walk down.

Typical selly oak. Quieter than dawlish/tiv. Close to Tesco garage, roosters and sainsburys.

Selly feels quite unsafe. Good student pubs and good range supermarkets, e.g. Aldi, Tesco, Sainsburys

Fun if you're a student. Can get very noisy. Lots of shops but these are mostly takeaways.
