Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Salford

Friendly neighbours, community feel, band together and will support you. Had chats with many people on this street and no problem with anyone whatsoever. Shop directly across the road so that's really convenient as well as a nice park just down the road. Well connected area with buses so often its impossible not to see one driving past. Connections also to the motorway and out of Manchester due to location.

As a student area the neighborhood has clearly had investment from student housing and shops like Spar and Subway but cross a bridge in any direction and you'll hit deprived and crime ridden parts of the city. Police sirens are frequent at all hours, as are fights kicking off in the street. Surrounding neighbourhoods are frequently in the local and national news for serious crime, and the occasional body washes up in the Irwell.

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.
