Welcome to Sandwell

It might not be the largest area of the West Midlands – with a population of around 330,000 – but Sandwell manages to pack a whole lot of great sights and experiences within its 30-plus square miles. You’ll certainly be glad that many people haven’t yet discovered its delights when you’re enjoying the stunning Sandwell Valley Country park, the astounding views of Clent Hills or the delights of Warley Woods, to give just a few examples.

This borough is a perfect place to escape the troubles of the modern world by getting back to nature, without huge crowds to distract you from the beautiful sights all around you. It’s also a place of great architectural beauty, with the likes of Oak House and West Manor Bromwich House showcasing its history. This rich heritage doesn’t just give Sandwell its distinctive looks but also the sense of identity and history which is further explored in the delightful Wednesbury Museum and Art Gallery.

This is a testament to the creativity and the fortitude that you see today through the many bars, restaurants, shops and other local businesses that help create a community and provide opportunities. Speaking of opportunity, one area that Sandwell excels in is primary and secondary education. There are close to 100 primary schools in the area, alongside special schools. This means if you have a family, especially with children of different ages, all of their educational needs can be met here.

Perhaps that is the best way to understand Sandwell, as a borough made up of several distinctive towns, each with their own perks and identities. This gives plenty of scope for you to find the ideal location for you. It could be Oldbury, thanks to its closeness to the M5 and convenient commuter links. It could be Tipton, for its railways and fascinating cultural and historical sites. Those are just a couple of examples, but it’s important to understand that Sandwell is not a monolith. It’s a great whole made up of many fascinating parts, each of which represents a wonderful place to live in its own right.

It’s also a financially practical place to live. Sandwell remains very competitively priced in term of property prices. This makes it possible to own your ideal home, whether you’re a single professional, couple or young family. You can rest assured that all your needs can be met in terms of education, entertainment, transport, culture and even in terms of natural space for you to enjoy and explore.
