It’s a friendly and welcoming place

If there is one thing that can be said about the Brummie people, it is that they are friendly and welcoming. In some other places in the UK, you might not expect strangers to smile in the street and make you feel at ease. But when you move to Birmingham, you will gain exactly that! 

It isn’t all concrete

As Birmingham is a big city, it makes sense that one of the biggest misconceptions about living there is that you will be surrounded by concrete and a rather grey landscape. Thankfully, Birmingham is actually the perfect mixture of green and city landscapes. Birmingham has over 500 parks and with the Sheldon Country Park you will actually be able to see a variety of animals running freely on the farmland. 

Great public transport

Another great thing about living in Birmingham is that it is incredibly easy to get around. Of course, you can choose to drive, however, if you have not lived in a city before, you may find the traffic a little on the daunting side. To try and cut down on traffic and help you to get around easier, the public transport links in Birmingham have been developed to be incredibly reliable and pretty constant too. Which will definitely make things easier for you. 

There is so much to do

When you move to a city, one thing that you are definitely going to find is that you don’t have to worry about not having anything to do in your free time. This is definitely true in Birmingham. With amazing shopping, a whole host of cultural and historical places and a variety of family fun things. You are never going to be short on things to do when you are away from work. 

The canal network is incredible

When you think of amazing waterways, you are likely to instantly think about Venice. You may be surprised to learn that with over 35 miles of canals within the city, Birmingham actually has more canals than the ever popular tourist attraction of Venice. The canals used to be a transport network for heavy loads, however, since this stopped in 1980, the canals have become a tourist attraction for many people, as well as a great place for locals to walk along when they need a spot of peace and quiet. 

So, as you can see, Birmingham isn’t just a great place to work, it is also a great place to live and raise your family too. Whether you live in the heart of the city, or in the outskirts, we can promise you that when you move to Birmingham with Find My Man and Van, you will know you made the right move.
