The Hidden Charm, Character, and Community Behind B92
When people think of moving to the West Midlands, places like Birmingham or Stratford-upon-Avon often steal the spotlight. But quietly nestled between city bustle and countryside calm sits Solihullâa town that blends leafy serenity, stylish living, and a truly welcoming community spirit.
At BU Homes, weâre proud to call Solihull homeâand weâre here to show you why you might just fall in love with it too.
đĄ Village Feel, City Connections
Solihull has mastered the balance. On one hand, itâs a place where neighbours know your name, and you can walk your dog through peaceful parks or enjoy a quiet coffee in a local cafĂ©. On the other, you're just minutes from Birmingham, close to the M42, and a short train ride from London.
Add in Birmingham International Airport and HS2 plans in the pipeline, and you've got a commuterâs dream wrapped in countryside calm.
đ Green Spaces That Make You Breathe Easier
One thing you notice quickly about Solihull? Itâs green. Really green.
With over 1,500 acres of parks and nature reserves, itâs a paradise for joggers, dog walkers, kids with scooters, and Sunday strollers.
Locals love:
Brueton & Malvern Park â ideal for a picnic or lazy afternoon.
Elmdon Nature Park â where you can forget youâre even in a town.
The Grand Union Canal paths â perfect for bike rides and exploring.
đ Small Boutiques & Big Brands
Solihull town centre is more than just a pretty face. Touchwood Shopping Centre brings in brands like John Lewis and Zara, but itâs the surrounding independent shops, cafes, and farmers markets that give it soul.
Grab a flat white at a quirky coffee bar, pick up handmade chocolates at a local deli, or browse vintage finds in Knowleâs weekend marketâthereâs a sense of âlocal prideâ here you donât always find elsewhere.
đ A Family Favourite
Ask any family why they moved to Solihull, and chances are youâll hear one word: schools.
The borough is home to some of the best-performing schools in the UK, including:
Tudor Grange Academy
Arden Academy
Solihull School (Independent)
Plus a wide range of Ofsted âOutstandingâ primaries
Itâs no wonder Solihull is a top pick for growing familiesâwith safe streets, plenty of green play areas, and a welcoming community vibe.
đ A Property Market with Prestige
Solihullâs housing stock is beautifully variedâperiod homes, modern new builds, elegant semis, and cottage-style retreats all have a place here. Popular areas include:
Shirley â Great value for young families.
Knowle & Dorridge â Leafy, upmarket, and filled with character.
Olton & Monkspath â Perfect for commuters with great links.
At BU Homes, weâre proud to be helping people buy, sell, rent, and invest right here in the heart of it all.
đ The Heart of It All? The People
More than the parks, schools, or shops, itâs the people that make Solihull special. From street parties and school fetes to charity runs and local business collaborations, this town knows how to come together.
If youâre looking for a place where you can build a life, not just buy a homeâSolihull delivers.
