Student Accommodation in Bournbrook

Student housing in Bournbrook

Use Housr to filter, shortlist, and book viewings for student housing in Bournbrook in a few taps, then sort the results by weekly price, bedrooms, or bathrooms until the list fits your requirements. Bournbrook is the run of red-brick terraces between Selly Oak and Edgbaston, and for most University of Birmingham students, it's the first place they look. The main gates of campus are a few minutes' walk from Bournbrook Road, so early lectures are walkable.

It's a proper student patch: shared houses, bikes chained to every railing, and a Sainsbury's never more than a few minutes away.

What's around Bournbrook

Bristol Road, the A38, is the spine of the area, and most of what you need sits on it or just off it. The Bristol Pear is the long-running student pub with a pool table, TV screens for football, and proper pub food when cooking loses its appeal. The Selly Sausage round the corner has been serving fry-ups to half-awake students for years.

For the weekly shop, there's an Aldi and a Sainsbury's within walking distance, with Selly Oak Shopping Park further down Bristol Road for the bigger runs. Cannon Hill Park and the MAC arts centre are a short walk or cycle towards Edgbaston when you want green space or a film that isn't on your laptop.

Getting around

The 61, 62 and 63 buses run along Bristol Road into the city centre every few minutes, so you're rarely stuck waiting after a late finish. There are two stations as well: University, on the edge of campus, and Selly Oak. Both serve the Cross-City Line to Birmingham New Street. A lot of people skip all of it and cycle, since the centre is only a couple of miles up the road.

Universities near Bournbrook

The University of Birmingham is the obvious draw, its Edgbaston campus sitting right on Bournbrook's doorstep. The city-centre universities are an easy train or bus ride away too, so Bournbrook still works if you study at Birmingham City University, University College Birmingham, or Aston University and fancy living south of the centre.

Accommodation in Bournbrook

Bournbrook is shared-house country. Think four to eight-bed terraces, with the odd studio or single room in the mix. On Housr, you filter by weekly price, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, and whether you want a single room or a studio, then switch between list view, tile view, and the interactive map to see exactly how far each place is from campus. Found the house, but short a housemate? Roomie connects you with other verified students to fill the spare room.

Bills, sorted

One house, one set of bills, and somehow several people who all swear they paid. Housr Bills takes that off your plate: energy, water, WiFi, and free Contents Cover in a single monthly payment, all managed in the app. Liability is split, so if a housemate misses their share, you're not the one left covering it.
