The West Midlands has many quaint and picturesque towns and villages that are proving popular for families in 2025.
The region is also home to many excellent cities that come with great opportunities and good nightlife.
Garrington Property Finder recently released the latest ranking of the Best Places to Live for 2025 across England and Wales.
Their data analysts have identified nearly 1,450 cities, towns and villages across England and Wales that all score highly in at least one of five selection criteria – natural beauty, wellbeing, schools and jobs, heritage and value for money.
They’ve ranked the best places to live in the region, and we’ve also included some of our favourites too.
Here are the top 9 places to live in the West Midlands:
5. Great Malvern, Worcestershire
The picturesque village is home to the stunning Malvern Hills, which carry the best views in the West Midlands. It’s great for a walking weekend with many paths leading up to the various peaks.
