Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Broughton, Salford

CONS
- rough area, man next door to the right steals car badges, police called out x2 to house across street, motorbikes race up and down street at roughly 4am many nights and police cars with sirens on drive past regularly through all hours of the night can be heard very loudly
- one car broken into and robbed
- another car graffiti
- neighbours sprinkle broken glass on floor so you won't park on the street behind
- cars on front prone to accidents, one car parked outside house written off by accident involving two cars from neighbours to right and a few doors down to left, these neighbours tried to make out damage was already there and became aggressive when this was disputed
- parking was a struggle anyway
- bin men often just didn't empty bins and would always leave bins in random places far further down the street, then other people would bring them into their front yards and you would have no bin until you went into someone else's front yard to retrieve it
- relatively poor public transport links, closest ones are at uni and uni 25 min walk away at best
- surrounding takeways are rubbish
- people have phones robbed from them in the street
- road you have to walk down to uni (with IQ and another student accommodation on) very high crime rate (look it up)
- just generally miserable and ugly area

PROS
- Gregs and a spar round corner,
- Tesco not too far but def driving distance or mixture of long walk and buses
- not too hard to get uber into Manchester, 7 mins on a good day
- park nearby but dangerous park
- not really a pro but lots of salford student areas like this. places like langworthy road better though
- treehouse cafe round corner is nice and staff are extremely nice

The area for both properties wasn't to be bad, the neighbours are friendly and there are plenty of transport links to the city center and surrounding areas.

Mostly student houses surrounding with no consideration for the area. Street was a mess with litter.

Close to the University, shops, and local transport routes such as buses, trains and trams.
A student area.
Not the safest, there have been break-ins on the street.
