Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Oxford

Super close to Brookes Uni and in a cul de sac so quiet area. Couples and nursing students live around there.

Nice local area in the quiet back streets between Cowley and Iffley Road. Neighbours are a mix with lovely young families. A church has set up next door in the old school which should become a nice hub.

A good area. Easy cycle distance into the centre of Oxford, which has everything you would need. A decent pub and fish and chip shop round the corner.

Wolvercote is an amazing place to live. People are friendly. There is an incredible access to Port Meadow and the bus stopo is never more than 2 minutes away from any of the front doors! We loved living here.

Lovely setting. Quite remote. Good walks and parking aplenty, but not easy to walk to any local schools or amenities.

Pleasant. Friendly neighbours, although one was a hoarder with a garden full of broken down cars and electrical devices. Good transport links, good amenities, not an attractive area, but safe.

Close to shops and the center of town, close to train station.

Moderate noise from Oxpens Road at night.

Neighbourhood is decent.
Nice neighbours.
No issues like crime etc. Good area to live.

The local area was great, Divinity Road always is with great accessibility to the local pubs and clubs, as well as Oxford Brookes. I would really reccomend this road to second year Brookes students but make sure to vet your lettings agent before you choose a property as opposed to after.

The area is really lovely, with amazing parks nearby and the bus stops to the centre not too far.
