Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in York

Areas convenient for me for work but its right by a main road and quite noisy as a result. Front door to the flats doesn't lock properly so anyone can just walk in. Also convenient for amenities and town but thats the only thing going for it. Area is light industrial and commercial. Also quite a lot of theft from the car park in terms of motorbikes/bicycles/car break ins and no cctv or security.

low crime, nice area of york, near centre and near park. Lots of neighbourhood cats. My bike got stolen in the alley but it was left unlocked so that's inevitable.

It's a nice place, right by the Barbican. Good pubs nearby and it's right near Fossgate which has a lot of the best restaurants and independent shops in York. It's easy to walk into town or to Foss Islands shops.

Not the cushiest area in York but nice by the standards of anywhere else in the north. Good pubs.
