Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in St Andrews

The neighbours were also difficult with our landlord and downstairs neighbour getting into many shouting matches from our home.

7 minutes to Aldi, 10 minutes to the centre of town. Sits on a main road, so could hear larger traffic going by. Neighbors are fairly friendly. Bus stops a minute and a half away.

The neighbourhood is a mixture of locals and students. There was rarely noise issue from the majority of the residents. Although lacking aesthetic charm, Abbey Court was safe.
At the start of the tenancy there were regular police visits to the area. These reduced half way through the tenancy.
There is a cat called Artemis that sits on the walkway. He is quite friendly once you earn his trust.

Nice, friendly neighbors. Pretty quiet neighborhood. 12 minute walk to town, 2 minutes to Aldi.

Couldn't be closer to local amenities, less than 5 mins walk to the centre of town and great view of the sea. Rest of the houses are rentals and holiday homes so very quiet. Flats in the block can be a pain with rentals as they don't seem to care much about residents.

Five-minute bike ride to town centre is all downhill. You can go via Bridge Street, Viaduct Walk, or through the forest along Lade Braes. Close to Aldi, M&S, and Morrisons. Quiet street near Canongate Primary School. House is on a corner so the only neighbour is an elderly woman.

I enjoyed living in this area as it's close to the Botanic Gardens and Hallow Hill. There aren't many student flats nearby, which might be a positive or a negative for you.

Family-oriented area, very close to local shops and bus links. Neighbours are friendly.

Lovely neighbourhood and good location. Close to Aldi etc, lovely neighbours, 15 mins from East Sands.

5-10 minute walk to aldi, 15 minutes into town. Close enough during lockdown as didn't go into town much, not sure if the location would be ideal if I was in town more. Is also close to science buildings (5-10 minutes).

Far from the university buildings for the price but at least it was close to the beach. The neighbours at the time were nice but they've moved out now too.
