If you’re contemplating city living in Birmingham there are many things to think about, such as number of bedrooms, possible parking facilities and of course the price. But just as important is the option of a brand new apartment versus an older property. Birmingham has witnessed a number of new contemporary schemes being built recently that epitomize the very essence of city living. However just as popular are the homes that date back as far as the Victorian era. Whether it’s an older building packed with charm, or sleek chic new apartments that you are seeking, the residential lettings team at Bruton Knowles has compiled this list of the best properties Birmingham has to offer.

Vintage chic
If you’re looking for something with character, typical of an older property, then look no further than Lichfield Road in Birmingham. This superb top floor warehouse conversion offers an open plan living area with delightful exposed beams which date back over one hundred years - all for £895 a month. What about living in one of the most fashionable quarters of the city, bursting with vibrancy and charm? Being in a conservation area, the Jewellery Quarter has benefited from redevelopment and refurbishment to retain and restore facades and key features. A two bedroom warehouse conversion in Carver Street is brought up to date with a marble bathroom, secure parking and a concierge service for £850 a month.

Out of town is where you can have an ultra modern apartment interior for up to date living but a Victorian or Edwardian exterior which makes your development feel individual and interesting. A large one bedroom flat in Edgbaston in a Victorian conversion offers off road parking and communal gardens - all for £575 a month. Another Victorian property in the Edgbaston/Harborne area offers a one bedroom first floor flat with all the delights of the suburbs for £400 a month. For something a little bigger in this leafy and peaceful haven on the outskirts of the city, a two bedroom flat in a large Victorian conversion with the original bay windows is available for £750 a month.

Cool contemporary
Luxurious, modern and urban are just some of the ways to describe the fantastic apartments available in the city centre. With a choice of one or two bedroom apartments, Southside offers luxury living, in a central location with secure parking and concierge service from £550 a month; this really is affordable contemporary city living at its best. Also coming on line from Crosby developments is the Orion scheme. In the heart of Birmingham, and at the cutting edge of sleek contemporary living for an affordable price, this is just the place for anyone looking to be near all that the city can offer – from shops to nightlife.

Away from the buzz of the city centre in Erdington, the George Wimpey development has two bedroom apartments for £600 a month. These apartments offer quality and luxury in a cool modern environment. Conveniently close to the M6, the setting offers the tranquility of a suburb, whilst still being an easily commutable distance from Birmingham, making it perfect for young professional people.
