Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Bulk, Lancaster

Just far enough out of town to not be noisy, the street is usually quiet. Some may prefer to be closer to the centre of town.

The walk we were originally taken on to show the house is the long route round that realistically once you'd moved in you never used. The quickest route into town is over the canal in a very dodgy area which I did feel uncomfortable being alone down, do walk this yourself to experience the true area. Equally the alley round the back of the house is not the nicest but you just put the bins there. The Lancaster Bus Station is 15 minutes away so expect a commute to Lancaster Uni of around an hour. Good links to Sainsburys as this is on the way home, corner shop next door useful too for the odd item. Centre of town is approximately 15-20 minutes too, depending on your route. Sugarhouse is 5-10 minutes away. You are living in a residential area so you will be the minority as students, be mindful of screaming children on their way to school!

Close to sugar and Daltons, right next to canal, takeaway, corner shop, Williamson park only a short walk up the hill

The area is fantastic as a 'base' as it's a two minute walk away from the bus station and a five minute walk into town. It is also quite close to Sainsburys and not far from more student budget friendly shops like B&M Bargains and Farmfoods. The only issue is that it is on a main road so it is very noisy with traffic during the day and by drunk people of the nights.

Relatively close to town/shops etc. but not the most glamorous neighbourhood - also 2 minutes away from Sugarhouse
