Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Scotforth West, Lancaster

Whilst the area is really pretty, and half way between Town and Uni, the transport was a bit naff. We were right next to a bus stop but tended to find that buses would fill up in town and then miss our stop, especially first thing in the morning. You would have to catch the bus for a 9am way before 8am in order to get to uni on time and not keep missing full buses. There were huge floods really close by as well due to heavy rain, although we were lucky in that we were on a hill so nothing came near us.

Good transport links to and from town with lots of local amenities nearby. There is a private back and front garden that adds security to the property. You can occasionally hear tipsy students heading into town but this is similar anywhere.
