“
Great value for the money and a great place to live.

(has lived here)
Close to city centre and several parks, including the Edgbaston reservoir.
easy access with public transport to both Harborne High Street and the city centre.
not much in the area yet but this will change as the brewery site is being developed.

A brewery site is being developed? Why would that bring in alot of people? As much as I love the smell of beer, i don't think i would love to live near one...unless they were giving away FREE beer :)
Amazing how from the sky on the google map, all the streets in the area look identical! I wonder how much each street differs in lifestyle.

It reads 'the brewery site is being developed'. ie a site that used to be a brewery. It is now being turned into homes and shops.
If you go one street south you end up right next to the development and that would mean a lot of noise for the next 4 years.
I think that matters. Couple of streets the other way you end up in a different council. That matters for some too. One street up and you are on the main road City Road.
Oh and btw the old brewery used to give out free beer to local residents during Christmas.

hehehe....ohhhh BEING developed! Sorry laxeylaxey :)
Interesting how from the sky the streets look the same, but as you say, go one street south and you'll end up next to the development with a lot of noise for the next 4 years. And in a different council the other way. Over time with more and more reviews, these things are going to become very apparent. Great info laxeylaxey!!!
Free beer at Christmas? Now that would have been AMAZING!
