Best places to move to in Birmingham

Are you considering moving to Birmingham but need to know which areas are the best? We at VanHelper have identified 6 of the best places to move to in Birmingham.

Digbeth

Historical home for the headquarters of Typhoo Tea, Digbeth has transitioned from an industrial hub to a creative powerhouse. Its proximity to the Bullring & Grand Central and ample indoor entertainment have earned Digbeth the nickname of the “coolest place to live in Britain”. The average price for properties sold in Digbeth is around £190,000.

Bournville

It is a model village just southwest of Birmingham; the Cadbury family founded it to house its employees at the famous chocolate factory. It was named “one of the nicest places to live in Britain” and considered one of the most desirable places to live in Britain due to the careful planning of open spaces and recreational areas for the benefit of the Cadbury workers that first lived in the village. On average, a two bedroom terraced house in Bournville will cost £280,000

Erdington

Amongst all the areas within Birmingham, it is one of the most popular with first-time buyers as the average price is under £200,000 for a two bedroom terraced house.

The Jewellery Quarter

One of the most sought-after locations in Birmingham, as it is just a few minutes from the city centre, the Jewellery Quarter has been the target of regeneration programs. Its historical factories and workshops have been converted to large housing with an industrial theme. However, its prime location does not mean you need to pay a premium price, and you can find properties around £250,000 in the area.

Handsworth Wood

This area is popular with pensioners as it has excellent access to local shops, good transport links, and three large local parks nearby. Handsworth Wood is a perfect place for larger families or retired couples. The majority of the houses here are large Victorian homes, and the price is reflective of that. Expect to pay nearer to £400,000 for a four bedroom property in the area.

Quinton

It is considered the safer area of Birmingham as it has the highest number of residents aged 65 and over and the lowest crime rate in Birmingham.
