Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Cambridge

The only good thing, emphasis on ONLY, was the location of the property. Lots of independent shops and if you worked in the city, the positioning was ideal.

The local area is lovely. Quiet, conveniently located, next to the train stations and close to town and the restaurants on Mill road. Would highly recommend - just not at this property.

Nice neighbourhood. Quiet. Neighbours friendly. Good local shops and pubs nearby. Central.

Annoying when football matches are on as there is no parking. Generally peaceful as were my fellow survivors.

Chesterton is nice, lovely high street and close to city centre. There are some nice cafes and pubs near by.

Lovely neighbourhood - lived around here for 4 years. Great location. Shame about everything else!

homeless from winter comfort next door hang out in the door way. use drugs, drink and urinate/defecate

It was close to the city center and the neighbourhood had a lot of nice shops nearby.

The area in general (ie Mill Road) is thriving and vibrant, and very close to the centre. The traffic is awful, but there are lovely back ways to travel into town by bike. There is a cafe opposite, a new mosque, plenty of shops and a giant sainsburys just around the corner. Romsey Lakes and the brook are a very short walk away.

There is a bus-stop directly outside the front of the house, and a coop supermarket 30 seconds away, as well as two pubs within five minutes walk. The river is fairly close too, as is Cambridge North train station. Excellent for anyone working on the Science Park or Business Park, though further away from the town centre than I'd like to be (about a 20 minute cycle).
