This region is excellent for anyone who loves quiet places and hates busy cities, Birmingham, and Coventry aside of course!
Each of the county’s boroughs is ideal for all and similarly offers a host of countryside locations however, Solihull is slightly different in that it is more of an upmarket largely urban location. The thriving economy is driven by a great number of large industries located across the region, supplying hundreds of employment opportunities. Many choose to have their HQ’s here due to it being so central.
The population of the area is very diverse. A total of 784,000 people born in other countries made up an estimated 13.6% of the West Midlands’s population, a melting pot of cultures and cuisines.

West Midlands Property
If you are considering a move to this part of the country, you are in for a treat when it comes to cost as most properties do not break the bank.
Although the average value across the region is £267,386, this does not reflect the reality in many places. Take Birmingham as an example, it has an average price currently of £235,681. In Coventry, you will pay an average of £247,108 and Dudley just £181,539.
With seven boroughs to choose from, the variety is enormous.
Small towns such as Tenbury Wells which sits alongside the River Theme, Church Stretton, nicknamed Little Switzerland in the late Victorian and Edwardian period for its landscape, and Broseley which borders the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, have become popular locations.
You may prefer to live life at a faster pace, in which case Birmingham or Coventry could be for you.
Birmingham is a compact city with everything within a walking distance of around 30 minutes. Apartments old and new are dotted across the city and the average cost of a one-bedroom flat starts from £120,000.
Coventry has plenty to offer new residents too. As well as having some amazing attractions, it is considered part of the ‘Midlands-Engine’, the home of the UK motor industry and a proud multicultural city. Homes are cheaper here, and you can purchase one for just £70,000.
