Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Easy access to city so good location

n/a. xx

Only positive is near to town centre

Very nice quiet neighbourhood. Not too far from shops.

Very nice student area. Good range of shops nearby and not far from the centre.

- Can be uneasy sometimes but that's just Selly Oak

Loud and lots of antisocial behaviour in the evenings. Standard for Selly Oak but more chaos than I had in second year on Selly Hill Road.

Has its charms - good places to eat, big student population so always round the corner from a friends house, good location to uni. But not very safe at all, as long as you don’t go out by yourself at night it’s generally fine but there are always creepy men walking around. Very noisy and dirty, always broken glass on the floor and overturned bins. I’ve lived in selly oak for 3 years and it has been fine overall, as a student area it works.

Pretty nice for selly oak, croydon road is fairly quiet, but rubbish everywhere. Short walk to uni, which is nice.

Crap area full of crackheads
