Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

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

Lovely area with lots of shops. The park nearby is a nice stroll and there’s a chippy opposite which is a personal favourite.

There are great transport links nearby, the neighbourhood is a lively family(ish) area. There are definitely a few dodgy people hanging about but for the most part it is a friendly area.

Transport links good in the area
Parking on the road was poor
General area was decent

The local area is decent, It's a bit far from the main shops but it's not much of a problem for me.

CONS
- rough area, man next door to the right steals car badges, police called out x2 to house across street, motorbikes race up and down street at roughly 4am many nights and police cars with sirens on drive past regularly through all hours of the night can be heard very loudly
- one car broken into and robbed
- another car graffiti
- neighbours sprinkle broken glass on floor so you won't park on the street behind
- cars on front prone to accidents, one car parked outside house written off by accident involving two cars from neighbours to right and a few doors down to left, these neighbours tried to make out damage was already there and became aggressive when this was disputed
- parking was a struggle anyway
- bin men often just didn't empty bins and would always leave bins in random places far further down the street, then other people would bring them into their front yards and you would have no bin until you went into someone else's front yard to retrieve it
- relatively poor public transport links, closest ones are at uni and uni 25 min walk away at best
- surrounding takeways are rubbish
- people have phones robbed from them in the street
- road you have to walk down to uni (with IQ and another student accommodation on) very high crime rate (look it up)
- just generally miserable and ugly area

PROS
- Gregs and a spar round corner,
- Tesco not too far but def driving distance or mixture of long walk and buses
- not too hard to get uber into Manchester, 7 mins on a good day
- park nearby but dangerous park
- not really a pro but lots of salford student areas like this. places like langworthy road better though
- treehouse cafe round corner is nice and staff are extremely nice

Quiet area just sometimes dificult to park, never heard anything off the neighbours so was good that way

Close transport links to the centre
15 min walk to trafford bar tram links
1 min walk to 15 bus to Piccadilly

Fine neighbourhood. Easy access to city centre, local pubs etc. didn't stay in the flat long enough to really experience it.

Very pleasant and quiet suburdan area. Near a bus stop, short walk from supermarkets. It was quite far from the centre of St Andrews, but the price suitably reflects that.
