Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Bournbrook, Birmingham

Lovely road, quieter than many others in Selly Oak streets. Only issue is bin stealing so just keep track of your bins.

Area is alright, very close to the university and mainly populated by students and young people.

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.

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

I really like Selly. It has a lot of character

Very student based area which is nice, a few things have occurred eg. Car break ins and quite noisy

The area is a student area and so noise and mess is expected. But convenient loacation for the university, town centre and shops. Despite this awful property, I have lived in much nicer houses in this area. Make sure to check out the landlord if the house because many do not care about student tenants at all.
