Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Reading

Area was nice and quiet. Queensway is a quiet suburban street and there are shops and a pub just a 20 minute walk away.

OK but no longer good reputation

Nice green part of Reading, some busy roads though

Quiet location
Dangerous turning on to the road

bit crap really
street drinkers
crack heads
cheap nasty takeaways
but close to motorway

Nice area. Parking is bit of an issue in road. Plans for lots of new houses and no infrastructure to support it.

Good neighbours, but thin walls so could hear most of what neighbours were doing I.e baby crying or coughing, even talking. Lots of verbal domestics going on late at night on street and surrounding streets.

Due to salvation army hostel, we had a problem with drug addicts and dealers. Call girls had moved (don't believe they are still there) into the block cause out flat to be frequented by many of their clients at odd hours. You will get ticketed in this neighbourhood for parking in your own bay, I was ticketed six times.

Nightclub next door. Smoking area right outside bedroom window. Very close to a Tesco and a quick walk to the Riverside and the train station.

Nothing special or bad about the neighborhood. Has a few shops nearby and not far from town.
