nearly all of of my uni lecturers live in Moseley, you can just tell a Moseley type by looking at them.

Edgbaston has some of the most beautiful houses in birmingham, but it also has a massive red light district.

Birmingham is quite a funny place to live, bit like london I suppose, rich and poor living literally on top of one another.

I love Sutton Coldfield, its where I want to move to once I get a decent job.

i have heard brownhills is nice

[NuttyMuffins]

Parts of it are nice, just incase anyone is gonna get offended, but the high street is so depressing, I hate it. It's full of cheap shops and crap.

I did live there for a while and never would again.

[OrvilleRedenbacher]

very clarsy
easy to find your way to


sutton is very nice
if had ££ in the midlands id buy a house on the four oaks estate

[HoraceWimp]

[OrvilleRedenbacher]

[tiredemma]

oh yes, brownhills is the place to be. Especially on market day, when you can smell the burger van.......

[OrvilleRedenbacher]

it smels of damp and tabs

[NuttyMuffins]

Yep Sutton is great, I know i am biased because I live here, but the town centre is fab, the surrounding parts ie boldmere, wylde green etc are nice and I love it.

[HoraceWimp]

@ "erdington Terdington"

I gre up in Kings Heath, and have lived in Mosely, stirchley, bourneville

All of them have lovely parts, others not so lovely (esp Stirchley)

[IntergalEGGticWalrus]

Also, I lived on a road just off Kings Heath High street for much of my life. It was a lovely little high street yonks ago, but since I moved away, it's really gone to the dogs

[Nip]

I live in south birmingham and there are some lovely places.
Solihull, Knowle, Dorridge and surrounding areas are nice.

[tiredemma]

A few men that I 'dated' that happened to be from Erdington all ended up either in jail, or doing Community service. Think that sums it up.

Now Kingstanding.....where do I start.. its not quite the end of the world but you can see it from there.

I had an aunt who lived on castle vale and was offered an exchange to kingstanding, but declined as she said it was 'too rough'

KINGSTANDING ROUGHER THAN CASTLE VALE!! arf

[NuttyMuffins]

My friend lives in Kings Heath and on the drive there we pass some nice bits but the bit where she lives in a council bit so not so nice really.

If I won the lotto, I would stay in Sutton, or Lichfield.

[NuttyMuffins]

LOL emma. We were down for a house on the vale, thankgod we never got one.

[IntergalEGGticWalrus]

Don't go to Cghelmsely wood either.

My friend is a lawyer in Chelmsley, and you can imagine the sort of clients he represents.....Nice

[OrvilleRedenbacher]

kingstandign has a HUGE prob wiht white racism

[LazyLine]

I live in Coleshill, which is nice, but is probably a bit far out for you.

[NuttyMuffins]

Half the BNP live in Kingstanding apparently, they have marches and all sorts there.

[HoraceWimp]

I used to love In Lichfield and its not nice imo
