Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Salford

Pretty bad, Lots drug dealings and other crime. Some of which was going on in the letting agents other property's that they were fully aware of but never did anything about. In fact when we did report it they went behind our back and told neighbours about the complaint and told them it was us, potentially putting us in danger.

Ok area, a bit rough but charming. Bus stop nearby, with a train station 30 minute walk away, at the university. 5 minute walk to a Spar, but there was a corner shop 100m away. I tended to walk to Aldi, 20 minuets away. Behind us was the River Irwell and the flood plain was nice for walking. We were located just outside the Manchester eruv. The area was described to us as "safe, but come on, it's still Manchester."

Right next to large tesco, stay on university side of salford precinct and you should be fine. next to large police station and near salford royal hospital so many sirens at night. Had some trouble with local people but minimal in 3 years I lived there. Usually drunk/homeless people trying to ask you for money or travelers (very rare though.)

Not a bad area with quite a nice park nearby. All transport links are reliable and you can get a tram nearby or plenty of buses to/from the city.

The area for both properties wasn't to be bad, the neighbours are friendly and there are plenty of transport links to the city center and surrounding areas.

Mostly student houses surrounding with no consideration for the area. Street was a mess with litter.

40 minute walk from uni. Extremely Rough. Have to walk through rough estate to main r

Lovely neighbours, off street parking as well as plenty of space for visitors. Close to Manchester and Salford University.

Good bus and links to Salford University Campus's. Had shared drive for the house and neighbour.

Depends on your street but my car was vandalised multiple times. Mounted Police do patrol which is great! Kids made you feel unsafe when its dark. Ask agency to update front door as neighbour drunk would come and bang on it. Close to park and shopping area.
