Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

Very local to UoB campus and shops. Good location

There are a lot of shops and places to eat out in the neighborhood. It's close to the university and it has Selly Oak Station. There was an international student just outside the house who got her phone stolen around the start of our tenancy, when everything would still be unfamiliar to everyone, so be careful.

Good shops and places to eat, close to the uni

Close to everything and accessible

A really convenient spot. You've got a Sainsbury's Local and Tesco just nearby, so shopping is never an issue. It's a quiet road compared to some of the busier ones like Dawlish, which makes a nice difference day to day. Not a far walk from campus at all, and close to the gym and all the coffee shops. Overall a pretty great location — hard to fault it.

This area was nice, it felt same and communal, often seeing neighbours and other local residents

Too noisy and unstable strange environment.

Okay, a few break ins and kind of messy, but I'm used to that as a student. The only major issue is the bins - recycling hasn't been taken in about 2 years and there is rubbish all over the streets.

very very goooood

I really like the area of Selly Oak, I think it’s nice to be around so many students living in the same type of house as you.
