Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in John Ogaunt, Lancaster

Really good location for the bus to uni and access to town. No issues with neighbours

Buses to Lancaster University were frequent after the bus-timetable update. At peak times it was sometimes difficult to get a bus given that they had picked up from Common Garden Street before heading into Bowerham, but if you plan your journeys well there's no reason you will not be able to get a bus to uni when you want to. On the contrary, buses into town were never a problem. Local shops/businesses were abundant and a two-minute walk from the house - Spar, barbers, hairdressers, pub, chip shop. Very quiet neighbourhood, a nice place to live quietly.

Terraced house so bit noisy at times. Mainly residential area, quiet neighbourhood and friendly neighbours. Transport links ok, about 10 mins walk downhill into town, it's going back up the hill to get home with the shopping that's the difficult bit! On street parking sometimes tricky due to local business park employees parking during working hours.

quiet, but bad parking. Close to main bus routes and 20 minutes from city centre. University of Cumbria right behind, Lancaster University around 10-15 bus journey with frequent buses

Can’t fault bowerham - fantastic for transport links to campus, quick walk to town & loads of local amenities (including butty shop, barbers etc). Literally 30 seconds walk from Uni of Cumbria campus without having to walk up that hill (you know the one). Had to commute to work by car, never had issues parking but beware of the locals who actually have family’s, and god help you if you steal their spot

Close to town, shops and a bus stop and the area is friendly and quiet, although it's up quite a hill!

Loads of pubs around and a corner shop just across the way, the only detraction was walking up the hill
