Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Dundee

Bus users listen up, this is directly across from a high school, so if you leave the flat between 12 & 1 on a school day please expect to spend your bus journey watching the kids take over the bus and don’t plan on getting off before the Overgate as they won’t let you past to get off. Also a nightmare on a Sunday as buses are only once an hour. Also it’s at least a mile away from any shop.

The location was perfect for me. It only takes 10-15 minutes to walk to Dundee bus station/town centre. Lidl and Boots are a few steps away, and Co-op is literally next door to it. It is close to Baxter Park, a great place for outdoor sports (running, tennis, bowling, outdoor fitness classes etc). It is pretty quiet during the day and suitable for home-working. I sometimes can hear low-frequency audible noise at nighttime, and it might have to do with something external.

It is a really good area of Dundee. Right in town but a quiet street so there isn't a lot of road noise.

Lovely area, nearest local amenities 15 minutes walk away. Good neighbours too, quiet

Central location to all amenities but poor communal area opening up onto main street directly onto a bus stop.

Student area, not the best but safe, and close to both universities and town center. Bus links relatively close.

Nice area, close enough to shops but was a bit far away from the university around a 20 minute walk.

Transport links were very good, however the neighbourhood was a bit rough. Local shops nearby and not far to walk into the town centre.

It’s nice. An established area with a lot of shops, services, buses and parks. Street lights are bright- felt safe at night. Police station just down the road also. No private parking space but on street parking.

It’s very close to UoD which is great. Magdalen Green is nearby and a good place to relax in the sun with friends.
The bridge is now built so an easy walk to a large Tesco.
The area is semi quiet. Definitely one of the quieter student options on campus along with West Park.
Good view of the river.
It’s not ideal for a quick message from the corner shop. If you need milk or coffee, etc you have about a 10-minute walk to shops.
