Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Highfield, Southampton

Nice neighbourhood but definitely doesn't make up for the house/landlord. Has a mix of students and privately owned property

The only good side is the location, its close to the university and therefore the bus stop. Apart from that, its not close enough to the shops. The neighbourhood isn't nice at all, you won't feel safe walking down the street at night. If you own a car the street is completely inaccessible from the North or the West because of a river and the univeristy.

It's right next to uni and that's good. Bad rating in here is to compensate how bad of a landlord he is.

Neighbours were very nice. Area it’s self is very handily situated to uni and shops. Parking is easy enough.

Very close to shops, to university for me. Walking distance away from portswood where there’s loads of shops and transport methods. Good area

There is a bus stop around the corner to get to town/the airport, but Highfield Interchange is also a 5-10 minute walk for more bus links. Shops and pubs/cafes in Portswood are a 10-15 minute walk away.

Very close to uni. Two of us drive so Sainsburys and Aldi were easy to get to. 45 minutes walk from clubs.

Neighbours attached to the house were not students and were nothing but rude. One night the woman stayed up till 3am playing music, so we politely asked them to turn it down to which she shouted at us on the street.
Was also told to stop mowing the grass at 11am when we moved out.
