Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Bath

Convenient location to town and stations

Fine........................

Foxhill was rough, often with fights/arguments outside. We saw blood left on pavements.
The neighbours were very noisy, often waking us up in the early hours due to screaming at their child. We saw the child show signs of neglect, though the council did not action this. The neighbours also played very loud music through the day and night which meant we could not study in the house. Usually the road was quite loud with music playing or a loud motorbike late at night. Our neighbours on the other side were friendly.

Overall we felt unsafe in the area, and the only perk was being on a bus route. Photos online from the letting agents and maps are outdated and inaccurate.

Bus stop 10 minute walk away, snooty pub down the road

Decent area with good access to public transport and direct access to the city centre.

Transport links are great but the street is always dirty when its bin day.

Decently close to transport and amenaties

Area is generally nice and similar to rest of oldfield (it is a fair way up the hill though from lower bristol road). Fine if you're cycling/walking/driving, but is a 10-15 min walk to junction road bus stop for the U1/U2.
Neighbours in the adjoining house are lovely.
Some interesting neighbours with dogs from the gates of hades next door on the other side.

Widcombe is basically perfect as a Bath student, especially with the new Morrisons.

Have absolutely loved it here. Brilliant area. Super easy, safe walk to the Bath Uni campus too if you're able to deal with the hill and take it slow.

It's rather loud at times and you do get the occasional drunk hooliganism but it's usually not a problem.

Close to a bus stop to the centre of the city and a small number of useful shops. No good transport links to the university close by so depended on commuting to the city centre.
