Love living at the forum! Local amenities include Tesco and a wide variety of restaurants and other shops. It's a 5-10,minute walk from New Street Station.

Management have responded to all issues raised. There are a few minor issues I have raised in recent weeks that haven't been sorted yet, but anything urgent is handled immediately.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I had known how great the community is - it would have made finding somewhere to live much quicker and easier! The bin collections happen at very early hours, and the apartments are usually very hot. Definitely worth leaving your windows open for a couple of hours before bed.

I have moved in this apartment for a month. I am super satisfied with everything now. The life here is espectially convenient, since it is close to the china town, sea food market, shopping mall and the train stations.

The location is great being so close to lots of bars and restaurants and any shop you like just a short distance away. Being so central the transport links are perfect to go anywhere.

I’ve previously lived towards the city centre due to studying in Birmingham and the good aspects are: Lots of restaurants nearby, the building is between Chinatown and st martins markets area also close to the bullring so plenty of options for eating out. There is an oriental market, spar and Tesco express nearby too. There are always people around the area too, it’s quite lively. Bad aspects: Need to exercise more vigilance around the area as it is a city centre and therefore a hotspot for pickpockets/crime etc. So far I’ve not seen antisocial behavioural on my street and feel it’s one of the safer parts of the city centre. Whilst there are shops, there are no major supermarkets nearby making food shopping expensive (Tesco express prices) with limited options if you have specific dietary requirements.
