With its fantastic nightlife, amazing food scene, lively culture and friendly locals, it is no wonder that Brummies are so proud of their city.
With new jobs being created in Birmingham, more people may now consider Birmingham when setting down roots. The good news is that there are lots of estate agents and conveyancing solicitors Birmingham, such as https://www.samconveyancing.co.uk/Conveyancing-Solicitors/conveyancing-solicitors-birmingham, that can help make a move as smooth as possible. But what areas should you consider?
Harborne
Foodies will not be short of options to choose from in Harborne thanks to its bustling high street. This area is also home to some of Birmingham’s best-performing schools. Being one of the more affluent areas of the city, house prices in Harborne outstrip those in most areas of Birmingham. However, in comparison to similar areas in the rest of the UK, it is surprisingly good value.
Bournville
There is no doubt about it, if you want Arts and Crafts beauty and chocolate box charm, Bourneville is one of the most special places in the UK. Most of us know Bournville from the eponymous chocolate product and as the home of the Cadbury chocolate factory. In fact, it was the Cadbury founders who founded Bourneville in order to improve conditions for their workers by commissioning the model village.
Today, as well as stunning period properties, Bourneville has good links to Birmingham city centre, plenty of leafy parks, good schools and a strong community spirit.
Digbeth
Digbeth is king of cool when it comes to Birmingham postcodes. Creatives have flocked to Digbeth for its up-and-coming vibe, its easy access to incredible culture and nightlife and, in recent years, the ‘start-up’ energy the area brings. With several regeneration projects planned for the area in the next decade, opportunities look set to increase and it is a great option for putting down roots in the city.
Bearwood
Another great suburban option, Bearwood has lots of nice shops, independent cafes and parks. Bearwood also has Lightwoods Park, a huge park with a children’s playground and a skateboard park. This area is perfect for a family.
Jewellery Quarter
Another area with a fascinating industrial heritage, the Jewellery Quarter has 200 listed buildings. It has a fantastic arts scene and the average resident is a young professional, so plenty of nice bars and restaurants have cropped up to cater to them.
Edgbaston
Edgbaston is famous not only for the RAF base and as the birthplace of Neville Chamberlain, but also for its cricket ground and botanical garden. It is a beautiful suburb with no shortage of activities for young families.
