Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

relatively safe location - no issues. Some roads nearer to the train station are unsafe so I would not walk around alone at night but personally i have had no issues

Good transport links, close to the uni and shops however had some issues with neighbours as they were quite disruptive and police had to be called a couple of times

near shops ideal location, however noisy neighbours doing construction. near shops and campus

Close to amenities, such as Selly Oak station and a corner shop. 20 minute walk to campus. Relatively quiet road compared to others in Selly Oak student area.

Quiet and good neighbourhood. Residential on other side of street. Sometimes there is traffic.

Good location to bristol road and also to uni, and not far from the park, had no issues with break ins

it’s close to campus and the shops and bus stops and it was easy to get around.
so that was good

We are next to a doctors and opposite a dentist so there is CCTV all around. It is 39 seconds from Tesco’s so it is super convenient. Honestly the best location! Takes about 8 minutes to get to the library.

Very student-friendly area of town. Useful high street nearby called Moorland Road. And local green areas.

~10-15 walk to closest tube stops - a bit far for central London
Decent bus access to compensate
Otherwise, very convenient to stores, restaurants, etc. 2 blocks from the fruit sellers of Portobello Road and across from a decent park.
Very dog-friendly, but unfortunately too many dog owners do not clean up after their dogs or leave the bags on the sidewalk. I've never seen any other neighbourhood this bad with dog poo not cleaned up.
