Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Southampton

Stunning neighbourhood with amazing neighbours! Such a shame about property

The neighbourhood is peaceful and quite place. Although it is by the road, at night you can still sleep soundly. The other tenants are also kind and considerate.

Neighbourhood is fine, neighbours are friendly and keep to themselves, well connected for buses.

The freeholder lives downstairs and he's a nightmare. Very nosey and complains about everything. When it rains you can smell the sewage plant, lots of late night shouting from randoms on the street. A very noisy road too, sirens a few times a day and loads of motorbikes ect. I've heard there's a red light district on the streets opposite. There's also fly tipping, weed ect. Parkings crap. Over the bridge there's a really nice park and across the road is a great bakery

Nice neighbourhood but definitely doesn't make up for the house/landlord. Has a mix of students and privately owned property

Average local neighbourhood. Nothing to say much about it. The state of the property was shocking from inside so topped that in terms of concerning issues.

Southampton neighbourhood. Right near McDonald’s. All in all fine area to live in no real problems.

The flat is located in ocean village, which is a really quiet and safe area, the marina is just behind which makes for a lovely walk, there are also restaurants and local amenities here too.

Ok’ish neighbourhood but very creepy at night as very dodgy people living in that area!

The only good side is the location, its close to the university and therefore the bus stop. Apart from that, its not close enough to the shops. The neighbourhood isn't nice at all, you won't feel safe walking down the street at night. If you own a car the street is completely inaccessible from the North or the West because of a river and the univeristy.
