Balsall Common is a Village nestled between Warwickshire, Coventry, and Solihull. It is officially Solihull, but many local people call it Coventry and it’s only 3 miles from Kenilworth. In the village centre there is a parade of shops with hairdressers, butchers, take-aways, café, library, vets, two churches and more. There is a large doctor’s surgery, two parks with play areas and open fields, various pubs and Indian restaurants; most notably The Masala Club, The White Lion (amazing nachos!) and The Brickmakers Arms with a fabulous garden. There is a Co-op, Tesco, One Stop and Sainsburys. There is also a farm with farm shop and café off Balsall Street East with lovely views whilst drinking your coffee!

Many people choose to live in Balsall Common because of the schools. Balsall Common Primary school is rated Outstanding by Ofsted along with the attached pre-school. It is quite a large school with three form entry and many facilities. They have a full extra-curricular timetable which makes good use of their swimming pool.
