The typical property in B28
Hall Green, outer-south Birmingham's commuter family-housing belt, with one of the city's strongest catchment areas for state-secondary attainment.
Area summary

Housing stock is dominated by inter-war detached and semi-detached family housing along the streets running east and west from the Stratford Road, with a smaller share of Edwardian terraced housing in the older core and post-2000 development on the eastern edge.
Demand is family-driven and currently strong. Hall Green has historically been one of the south-Birmingham postcodes most preferred by relocating professional families because of the catchment for Hall Green Secondary School and the proximity to Solihull's state-grammar provision via the Hall Green Library catchment line.
