Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Lancaster

The area is close to the bus station, making it easier to travel to the university. However, the first term had problems with many studios experiencing strangers entering the property and threatening tenants.

Really good location for the bus to uni and access to town. No issues with neighbours

Two shops within a short walk (less than 5 minutes), a short walk into town and easy access to bus stops.

Great location for buses under 10 mins to common garden and the number 4 will drop off outside the building. Just high levels of noise due to trains and busy road

Beautiful historic neighbourhood with spectacular view of the castle. It is the perfect location situated in the centre of town and is close to the bus and train station.

Very close proximity to both Common Garden Street and the Bus Station. Walking distance to all town centre shops, and the new Lidl. Due to being close to the town centre and some pubs there is noise later at night during the weekends.

Buses to Lancaster University were frequent after the bus-timetable update. At peak times it was sometimes difficult to get a bus given that they had picked up from Common Garden Street before heading into Bowerham, but if you plan your journeys well there's no reason you will not be able to get a bus to uni when you want to. On the contrary, buses into town were never a problem. Local shops/businesses were abundant and a two-minute walk from the house - Spar, barbers, hairdressers, pub, chip shop. Very quiet neighbourhood, a nice place to live quietly.

Terraced house so bit noisy at times. Mainly residential area, quiet neighbourhood and friendly neighbours. Transport links ok, about 10 mins walk downhill into town, it's going back up the hill to get home with the shopping that's the difficult bit! On street parking sometimes tricky due to local business park employees parking during working hours.

quiet, but bad parking. Close to main bus routes and 20 minutes from city centre. University of Cumbria right behind, Lancaster University around 10-15 bus journey with frequent buses

Just far enough out of town to not be noisy, the street is usually quiet. Some may prefer to be closer to the centre of town.
