Where ever you lay anchor I am sure you will be welcomed. Like all cities towns etc there are places best avoided. Trains and Bus services are quite good Just my opinion you might find districts south of the city may be more attractive. Best of luck

As a student at the art school in Fazeley st, we use to drink in the Woodman, Fazeley St and the Fox and Grapes, they were real pubs with a real smell about them and an atmosphere you cannot replicate, and a great cheese and onion cob in a glass case on the bar,

Hello Andrew, I left Birmingham in 1980/81 after being brought up there, although as a family we moved about quite a lot. We tended to live on the outskirts, often on new build, Council Estates. They soon became dumps as the estates filled up.


Personally, if I was heading back to live in Brum, I’d go for the south or west outskirts. Only because I travel through those areas on the times I visit Brum and those are the areas I knew best. To be honest they don’t look too bad. M42, M5 is fairly close for any commuting.


Good luck in your search for a new home

Thank you so much for all your replies. I am aware that it will be quite hard to find a property in a really nice area with 150k. I am willing to travel with the car or by train if I will be unable to find a suitable property in a decent area. I have lived in London for 4 years and I am aware that living in a big city will come with issues as well especially with a high crime rate way above national average. I consider Birmingham a solid choice when it comes to job opportunity that's why I am willing to relocate from Milton Keynes to Birmingham.
