The typical property in B10
Small Heath, the southern half of Birmingham City's stadium catchment, where yield-driven landlord competition meets one of the highest population densities of any UK city ward.
Area summary
B10 covers Small Heath south of B9, taking in the streets between Coventry Road and Golden Hillock Road, the southern half of the Small Heath retail strip and the residential pockets around Sparkbrook's eastern edge.
Housing stock is overwhelmingly Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, with substantial post-war municipal estates on the southern edge. The Coventry Road corridor is one of the busiest independent-retail strips in Birmingham, with a substantial South Asian retail and hospitality economy.
Demand is owner-occupier and investor split. The postcode contains some of the highest population densities of any UK ward, with average household sizes above the Birmingham average. The Small Heath railway station provides direct West Midlands Railway services to Birmingham Moor Street and Solihull.
Local employment is split across the Coventry Road retail and hospitality economy, the wider Birmingham city-centre commuter base, and a tail of education and public-sector employment.
