Harborne

BirminghamB17

Harborne is Birmingham's most complete suburb—a proper high street with independent shops, excellent schools, good pubs, and leafy residential streets. It's where families settle when they want space, community, and convenience without leaving the city. More polished than bohemian Moseley, more characterful than new-build Edgbaston, Harborne offers the Goldilocks balance of suburban and urban.
