The typical property in B23
Erdington, north Birmingham's main outer-suburban centre, with substantial inter-war family housing and the long-running Erdington High Street regeneration.
Area summary
B23 covers Erdington in north Birmingham. Erdington is a substantial outer-suburban centre with a long high street and a mixed residential character.
Housing stock is dominated by inter-war detached and semi-detached family housing along the streets running east and west from the High Street, with a smaller share of Victorian terraces in the older core and post-war municipal stock around Stockland Green and Bromford. The wider B23 area also includes the substantial Pype Hayes Park residential edge.
Demand is family-driven and currently mixed: owner-occupier demand for the inter-war semis is steady, while the older terraces and ex-municipal stock trade on yield. Erdington station provides direct West Midlands Railway services to Birmingham New Street.
The Erdington High Street has been the subject of multiple regeneration programmes since the 2010s, with mixed delivery progress. The 2022 Erdington by-election and subsequent Levelling Up funding allocation provided a renewed push.
