Rubery Neighbourhood

Rubery is a largely suburban area on the edge of Birmingham, known for its mix of residential housing and local businesses. The nearby Lickey Hills Country Park provides a scenic backdrop, making Rubery attractive for those looking for a balance between access to amenities, convenient commutes and access to nature.

First-time buyers and families can find a range of affordable properties across the village. One of the most sought-after locations is Birmingham Great Park, a modern estate popular with young couples and growing families due to its contemporary homes and nearby amenities.

Rubery sits close to Longbridge, with Frankley to the north and Lickey to the south. The area is effectively split by the A38, with the north side focused on residential housing, including the sub-area of Waseley, and the south side home to Rubery’s main High Street (New Road), where most shops and services are located.

To the east, the Great Park area offers residents easy access to leisure facilities, retail outlets and dining options, while nearby Longbridge continues to grow in popularity. The Longbridge regeneration project transformed the former Austin Rover site and has delivered new-build homes, commercial spaces, and major retailers, including the Midlands’ largest Marks & Spencer.

Sales market comment from our Rubery Branch

Rubery’s property market has seen steady price growth in recent months. Rising house prices are allowing homeowners to sell at a profit, often helping them move up the property ladder. This trend has also started to attract buyers who were previously unsure about investing in the area.

The local housing stock includes a mix of apartments, terraced homes, semi-detached and detached houses, with both period properties and modern developments available across different parts of Rubery.

Areas such as Lickey Hills, Beacon Hill, and Cofton Park are among the most desirable. They offer larger homes near green space and the local golf course, appealing to buyers looking for premium properties in a quieter setting.

Lettings market comment from our Rubery Branch

“The rental market in Rubery has seen significant growth, with increasing demand pushing up rental prices across the area. A fast-moving market means most properties are let quickly, allowing landlords to secure asking price rents with minimal void periods.

Neighbourhoods such as Rubery, Rednal, Great Park, Longbridge, and Frankley are popular with tenants. These areas feature new-build homes and low-maintenance properties, which are particularly appealing to renters looking for modern living with good transport links and local facilities”.
