About Birmingham

Where to live? Moseley in south-east Birmingham was this year named the best place in the UK for city living by the Sunday Times, beating London’s Mayfair and Muswell Hill to the top spot. Judges commended its “village community” and if pubs and parks are high on your list of desirables, Moseley certainly delivers. Cannon Hill is the city’s flagship park, spreading into Edgbaston with its sprawling Victorian landscaping, Grade II listed bandstand, series of lakes and ponds and the Midlands Art Centre (MAC).

Bordering Moseley, Edgbaston is known for its leafy, winding roads and large houses. The suburb includes the University of Birmingham campus and the botanical gardens, as well as a large reservoir that’s popular with runners. A little further from the city centre, Harborne doesn’t quite have the bohemian allure of Moseley, but it does have a similarly youthful population and a plentiful supply of pubs and restaurants. The high street includes Michelin starred Turner’s and the new Harborne Food School in a striking, red brick, clock tower building. Although part of Birmingham, the royal town of Sutton Coldfield feels like a destination in its own right. It has a direct rail link to the city centre and dominates the list of the West Midlands’ top 10 most expensive roads. Resident premiership footballers’ eye-wateringly expensive cars line the streets. Sutton Park, one of the largest urban parks in Europe, sprawls across the suburb with wild deer roaming its 2,000 acres. More affordable Just south of Moseley, and connected by the same busy bus route, Kings Heath has a bustling high street with large chains alongside small independents. The area’s Hare and Hounds pub is one of Birmingham’s best-loved live music venues and there’s a popular monthly street food market. Kings Heath and Highbury parks add great paths of greenery to the city. Bourneville model village was designed to house workers at the Cadbury chocolate factory. Founded by Quakers, this suburb is lacking in pubs, but beauty abounds in its tree-lined streets, along the Worcester and Birmingham canal. On the university campus doorstep, Selly Oak has more than its fair share of student housing, but plenty of affordable family homes as well. Bristol Road and Pershore Road give easy access to the city centre, with green spaces found in Selly Park, Cannon Hill Park and Pebble Mill playing fields. Emerging areas Bordering Bourneville and Kings Heath, Stirchley and Cotteridge are growing in popularity, as buyers find themselves priced out of Moseley and Harborne. Bordering Edgbaston and Harborne on the western side of town, Bearwood is technically part of Smethwick in Sandwell, with large houses at more affordable rates than its neighbouring Birmingham suburbs. City centre living When it comes to seriously urban living, apartments can be found in three main areas: The Mailbox, Digbeth, Brindley Place and the Jewellery Quarter. The latter, with a population of 6,000 and growing, offers 18th and 19th century terraces and townhouses, as well as flats in large converted factories. There’s a vibrant atmosphere around St Paul’s Square and along Warstone Lane, with an

abundance of pubs, bars and restaurants. The modern developments surrounding The Mailbox are home to many one and two bedroom apartments, all in close proximity to one of Birmingham’s busiest nightlife spots alongside the canal. Just a short walk from New Street, the Bull Ring and the new Eastside city-centre park is Digbeth, a former industrial area and home to Birmingham’s Irish community, now emerging as Birmingham’s creative quarter with the Custard Factory shopping centre and workspace at its heart.
