The typical property in B14
Kings Heath and Druids Heath, south Birmingham's main commuter ring, with the Camp Hill Line reopening due to add a station and Kings Heath High Street's independent retail at its centre.
Area summary
B14 covers Kings Heath, Druids Heath and parts of Brandwood End in south Birmingham. Kings Heath is the principal centre, with a substantial High Street running along the Alcester Road.
Housing stock is mixed: Edwardian and inter-war semi-detached family houses in the Kings Heath core (around the High Street and the streets running east towards Cocks Moors Woods Country Park), substantial inter-war terraces and semis to the south, and post-war municipal estates around Druids Heath and Brandwood End. Several of the inter-war semi-detached streets are popular with first-time buyers and young families.
Demand is family-driven and currently strong, supported by the planned Kings Heath station on the Camp Hill Line. The station, alongside Moseley and Hazelwell, is scheduled to open in 2025-2026 and will provide direct services to Birmingham Moor Street and Solihull.
Local employment is split across the High Street retail economy, the wider city-centre commute and a tail of education and small-business employment.
