Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Rusholme, Manchester

Not an overly studenty area but had good bus links to both universities + city centre and there was a good choice of nearby supermarkets

10 minutes from Asda if you're a slow walker, 15 from Lidl. Bit of a dodgy area and wouldn't go outside at night, but it is Manchester. Streets are generally unclean. The area itself is quite quiet except if building work is going on, and the neighbours only complain if you're far too loud on a school night.

Occasional break-ins into the house, but overall not a bad neighbourhood. Close to main road and shops.

Area is fantastic, lots of greenery and friendly faces. Victoria park is a wonderful area to live in, I would highly recommend this area (but not 6-8 Conyngham Road where we stayed).

The neighbourhood is OK, not luxurious but close to the city centre and as a result, a very diverse mix of social, racial, circumstantial, professional backgrounds. It does lack social amenities such as restaurants and bars, but there is a beautiful park (Birchfields) and it is a short walk into the city centre. In terms of safety, the street I lived on specifically (Dickenson Rd) could be questionable at times and there was often a man lurking outside my front door asking for money.
