A bit dodgy
Selly Oak is a student area therefore petty crime can occur. However this street is relatively safe and would not perturb me from renting this property.

Selly oak is fun, lots of nice pubs. Edgy at night time. Good as pretty much every student lives in Selly oak so close to see your friends.

The heart of Selly Oak obviously isn't a particularly nice or safe area. Transport links however were very good, and our property is close to the Uni, a train station, bus routes, and plenty of shops on Bristol Road.

Harborne is lovely and being right in the center of it is very nice. But not on the nights of Friday and Saturday when Slug and Lettuce closes its doors in the night. Fights, shouts, people weeing on walls, police and ambulance...

Really well connected to local amenities, bars and pubs. A 20 minute walk into the city centre. Just on the edge of The JQ so quite close to a deprived area of Brum (Ladywood) and in the middle of a building site for most of the time we were there.

Not the best area in terms of looks or crime but plenty of shops, amenities etc. nearby, great access to bus routes, multicultural community so lots of different food available. Next to a huge park.
