Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Bristol

It's Filton. Students and council homes mostly, but at least it isn't Lockleaze.

Lots of take-aways and convenience shops around though.

3/10, only one case of arson in the immediate area during my time there.

Neighbours across the road are typical council estate scum. Selling drugs, locking their children out all day and not letting them in. Generally causing trouble. Lockleaze as a whole is not a nice area. The only rewarding factor is the nice walks around the green space available there.

The neighbourhood was good: a diverse working class community. The flat was on the main road, which was pretty polluted (you didn't really want to open the windows).

Great neighbourhood, there is a really nice pub just across the road and it takes less than 10 minutes to get to uni. The number 8 bus stop is really close so you can get to temple meads easily and there is a small corner shop 4 mins away. The only small issue is parking on the crescent can be difficult.

Our house was one of 15 houses that got robbed in the area around the same time, the police reckon that it was the same guy/group of people doing it.

The neighbourhood was ok, sometimes you could hear the TV and the neighbours talking or yelling but it was ok. The previous tenant before me had her car mirrors broken and license plates stolen, but maybe that was just bad luck. There is no parking space if you have a car.

This was good. The neighbourhood was decent but pinder has no say or effect in this. S

The flat is very central and really convenient for the university and for shopping. The transport links are excellent. It can get a bit noisy on Wednesday and Friday nights but not enough for major disturbances.

Local area was pretty good! Literally 5 minutes from Temple Meads and so there's super easy long distance travel and bus links. 5 minutes in the other direction to Broadmead/Cabot Circus so pretty ideal location!! The only downside is the walk to Uni, is only about 25/30 minutes but is pretty uphill and a lot of people live closer but you're surrounded by so much other stuff it doesn't matter too much apart from when it's raining. And there was constant construction next door which was frustrating but must end at some point soon.

Close to the uni, the triangle, the SU and clifton village. Can't get much better really.
