Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Southampton

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.

It's right next to uni and that's good. Bad rating in here is to compensate how bad of a landlord he is.

Neighbours were very nice. Area it’s self is very handily situated to uni and shops. Parking is easy enough.

Very close to shops, to university for me. Walking distance away from portswood where there’s loads of shops and transport methods. Good area

Good distance between campus and the city centre. Portswood is noisy, often a number of drunks in the area and the walk from the high street to the house can be rather dark as there are few streetlights (I would phone a friend during the walk home).
