Area Information

B24 0BQ lies within Pype Hayes, a small residential cluster in Erdington, Birmingham, known for its suburban character and historical roots. With a population of 1934, this area is compact yet distinct, shaped by its 1920s council housing developments and later regeneration projects.

The area’s layout includes semi-detached homes from the inter-war period, alongside post-1960s tower blocks, reflecting a mix of architectural eras.

Its location along Chester Road, once the Welsh Road, ties it to broader regional networks.

B24 0BQ’s property market reflects a balance between owner-occupied homes and rental units, with 52% of properties owned by residents. The area is primarily composed of houses, particularly semi-detached homes built during the inter-war period and later developments. This mix of housing types offers buyers a range of options, from traditional family homes to more modern properties. The presence of both council and private housing suggests a diverse market, though the small size of the postcode means the immediate surrounding areas heavily influence availability.

The area’s compact nature means proximity to amenities and transport is a key selling point, though property values could be influenced by the broader Erdington district’s dynamics.
