Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Birmingham

Tiverton road is one of the more dangerous roads in selly oak. The house is safe and double locked tho.

It's Selly Oak. There are amenities at the bottom of the road and we're a 4 minute stroll from the train station.

Selly is generally fine. We’ve had no issues of break ins etc. Noise levels are also generally fine and had no issues with neighbours.

Student area with high crime rates, wouldn’t choose to live here if I wasn’t a student.

Selly Oak is a student area, with quite a lot of rubbish around and reports of car theft/attempted burglary. However it has good transport links to the city centre (Selly Oak train station-10 minute journey to New Street), and is close to the university campus.

Student area so it’s all as expected. Road is well connected and close to university campus and smelly oak high street

Right next to the uni, but quite a high crime rate. Good selection of shops, pubs etc

Selly Oak isn't the most pleasant or safest areas giving it is nearly all students, however being the first house of one of the first streets meant a 30 second walk to Tesco, a 3/4 minute walk to Uni campus, so location was definitely ideal.

Its Selly Oak, its not great but all your mates will live there so just take the crime on the chin. Stay safe and have a laugh

Well... Selly Oak as a whole is a bit stabby, but this road is one of the nicer bits.
