Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

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.

Area has high crime rate. People often get mugged all the time. Bus and transport links are very good.

The area isn't the nicest place in the world but that is expected of a student area. It is a good well lit road.

I mean, it's Selly Oak. Having said that, walkable to Bournville, Stirchley and Canon Hill Park which is great. V good Indian takeaway and chippy 2 mins away.

Selly oak is very conveniently located for the university, had lots of eaterys and shops. Many bus routes and train stations are very close by so transport links are very easy. However it is not the safest area or cleanest area

Selly Oak is a really good place to live as a UoB student, its convenient for the uni and has good places to eat and shops etc. High(ish)? crime so make sure to keep doors locked etc.

Top of Teignmouth so relatively quiet, never had bins pushed over etc, not loud at night. Off licence at top of road is great. Selly oak is still a bit grim though. Live a few doors down from Selly cat!

6 minute walk to selly oak train station, 1 minute to Tesco and 2-3 minutes to uni and Aldi. Bristol road is 30 second walk and has lots of shops and places for food. Not a nice place at night due to high crime rates.
