Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in St Andrews

The area is quiet and near a bus stop and the East Sands Leisure Centre. Roughly a 15 minute walk from town.

About a 20 to 25m walk away from the North Haugh, 10 to 15m from shops in town or Aldi. Easily managable for me but slightly further out than some properties in St Andrews. Lamond Drive is a nice street with a park just across the road, and East Sands is very nearby.

perfect central location, really the only thing the flat has going for it and clearly the reason it is so egregiously priced.

Hope Street is incredibly central - it takes about 3 minutes to walk to Tesco and even less time to get to the Student Union. We have access to a neighbourhood garden/park situated between Howard Place and Hope Street.
We didn't have any major issues with neighbors - the surrounding flats (in 9 and 11) were occupied by students so it could sometimes get loud if they hosted parties, but no more than our flat. There's also a self-proclaimed Unpaid Bin Warden who pushes your bins into your doorway if you don't bring them in quick enough after bin collection which is a bit passive aggressive, but manageable.

Less than 5 minute walk to m&s and aldi and a 7 minute walk to south street so relatively close to town. A few minutes away from the post office and shell petrol station

Great location, quiet street - mix of families and students. Only a 10 minute walk from town centre and 10-15 minutes from large supermarkets. Slightly further to walk to North Haugh (20 minutes).

2 minute walk to town/union/bus station/west sands, 5 minutes to North Haugh, very convenient location

About 10/15 min walk from town. Night-bus will drop you off close enough. No problems in the area so far. Shortcut through Glebe road and the sheds gets you into town faster that going down Lamond Drive.

Nice and leafy local area, quiet neighbours, easy access to town and the university. Nice riverside location too, and easy access to the beach at East Sands.

St Andrews is a lovely place to live, and the location of our house was very close to town and the University.
It is such a shame that the letting agency could not be as nice.
