Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Earlham Rise, Norwich

a bit dodgy of an area, but okay

Stunning! The house is very close to Eaton park which is great for walks and skateboarding

The house is very close to the university, no longer than a 10 minute walk. Bus stops for the 25/26 bus line were only a few minutes walk from the house, so was well connected to both campus and the city. The house is also directly opposite a local shop and a take-away which was incredibly handy. Also close to UEA lake and Eaton Park. There are other student houses on the road so student parties can and do go on, but there are non-students living in very close proximity to the house. Due to the pandemic we didn't often have many other people in the house, but if we did we were careful regarding noise due to an older man living directly next door. Lovelace road itself is busy so can get very noisy, particularly due to large delivery trucks unloading throughout the day and at weekends, but you do get used to this, and the windows at the front of the house do keep out the majority of the sound when closed.

Quiet and nice neighborhood, relatively close to the University of East Anglia. Behind the main street (the Avenues) were the bus goes to the city and also to the University.

Neighbours were lovely, always willing to lend a hand when needed or stop for a chat. There’s an annual street party in summer and a facebook group to join.

The mosque across the road included a small shop that provided all the basics at good prices, and the staff were helpful and friendly. Parking during the mosque opening hours could get dicey though. At the other end of the street there’s a fab little café.

Downsides are that there’s a graveyard at the end of the road (which depending on your zombie preparedness levels could be offputting) and it’s about an hour’s walk to town.

The local area was your average neighbourhood. Those that we spoke to were friendly but we didn't talk to lots of people on the street.

Close to UEA and aldi but not much else. Police came out once to deal with someone threatening next-door neighbours.

Property is directly onto a fairly busy road, but is set far enough back and with a large hedge that this isnt much of an issue. About a 15min walk wither to sportspark entrance via Earlham Road or 15/20min walk to centre of campus via George Borrow Road and The Avenues. 5 minute walk to Tesco Express/Coop and 5 min walk to Coop/shops on the Avenues. No26 bus stop into town 2 mins away opposite the police station. or towards Uni 2 mins away on Colman Road.

The area is amazing. It's close to two bus routes that lead into the city. There is a co-op basically opposite the property which is really handy if you need anything. Is very close to Eaton park and is only a 6-minute walk to UEA. There is only on-street parking spaces but there is normally plenty of room on the street to park a car.

Lovely and close to UEA but also great for shops / takeaways just a short walk away. Bus stop a few doors down directly into town.
