If you can find somewhere affordable in those areas, super.

Without meaning any offence to anyone, being a postie, I see all of Redditch. Nearly all of the B98 estates have rough areas, with some of the B97 areas near town being iffy.

Woodrow South for instance improves the further from Woodrow North you get, but then goes bad at the very south. Winyates improves the further from the Centre you get, but the East is better than the west. Oakenshaw is a fairly nice area, but Mickleton and Patch Lane can draw rough elements (I'm in Mickleton btw.)

If I had a choice, personally I would look to Webheath, Headless Cross, Crabbs Cross and Hunt End. Funnily enough all are quite close to the club, but none of them have closes/roads/etc I would say keep away from, whilst every other estate does. But as always availability and price will most likely be the deciding factor.

Where do you work anyway?

Got that pretty much bang on!
I've always lived in Redditch, and have lived in Walkwood (literally two closes over from where the club is now - i went to playgroup there ^_^)
and now Greenlands. My dad lives in Matchborough, Simon lives in Batchley.
Pretty much what Gaz said - most of Redditch is alright. Just steer clear from the centres (woodrow, wynates, matchborough, churchill) and most of the areas directly next to the town centre (Though Batchley is actually 'better' the closer you are to the town centre).

Most of the 'trouble' stays with the people who seek it I've found. So while there are definitely areas I wouldn't walk through at night, that'd be more just out of caution then actual necessity if that makes sense.

Though looking again I'd stay away from southcrest and enfield as well.
