Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Bath

Decent transport, fairly close to shops, felt safe, near nice walks. Nice neighbors, just the odd unreliability of the U2.

Monkton Combe is a lovely little village, quiet and pretty, some good walks around.
Would need a car though as buses to bath are regularly late

The area was a very student populated area, near the Bath Spa accommodation and not far from town. It was because of this that you think your getting a good deal for your money. However, once you live in the house and have to deal with the landlord that you realise it is not a nice house to live in or a good landlord to have to deal with.

Full of chavs, but excellent corner shop and plenty of cats around the neighbourhood

A bit far from town but okay Location. Good location for food shops and good bus routes into towns.

Lots of kids running around - running in to driveway - lots of shops nearby, but been reports of people being mugged in the area

Great location. Easy access to Oldfield Station, bus stops and Moorland Road. Great parking also.

Coronation Avenue is a long street in Oldfield park, near by to an array of shops, take aways, schools etc.
Parking is scarce and it is often difficult to find a space nearby.
There is a school just down the road and parents often park on the street making traffic and parking really overloaded; which is frustrating for tenants.

Top of Twerton is a rough area. Difficult to get to University via bus (needed two busses). Connections were bad and the 5 varied and was often late.
Not much around to access by foot, within 5 minutes.

Oldfield Park is a fantastic location for bus routes, shops, communities, and parks.
