Portershill Drive was constructed with retirement and ease of living in mind and is situated in a most convenient location just off Tanworth Lane, close to the junction with the main A34 Stratford Road.

Frequent bus services operate along the Stratford Road into Birmingham City Centre and its outlying suburbs, or alternatively into the town centre of Solihull where once again there is an excellent choice of shopping facilities. Shirley has its own railway station situated in nearby Haslucks Green Road.
