Living in the city centre near Aston Place in Birmingham has a lot of positives. There’s a great range of local shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance – from independent cafes to big-name chains. The Bullring and Grand Central are close by, offering plenty of shopping options. There are also some nice open spaces like Eastside City Park, though green areas can be limited compared to suburban areas. Transport links are excellent, with New Street Station just a short walk away and regular buses and trams serving the area. Overall, it's a vibrant, convenient place to live, especially for professionals or students who enjoy city living.

It's helpful to know that using the residents app makes reporting issues really easy and speeds up response times. I'd also recommend getting to know the concierge team early on – they’re a great resource for day-to-day questions.
