Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

The house neighbour constantly smokes weed, our enitire house reeks because of the neighbours. Boring but quiet, rather close to shops and some bus stops or tram, but nothing really good there.

Neighbourhood is terrible. Drug deals taking place in the alleyway directly adjacent to the property and because the wall to the "garden" was so low you were always made to feel like you were intruding. Once even had somebody tell me to "f**k off" while having a cigarette in my own garden. The past two years (2019 and 2018) people had set fireworks off at people down the street. Definitely the nasiest part of Shelton!

Shelton is dangerous, on the street they found the remains of a cremated woman once. There have been stabbings, robbery, sexual assaults and everything. During the day it's mostly fine as it's busy, but during the night it's honestly very dangerous. The streets are littered with rubbish, overflowing bins and RATS - yes RATS. Drug crime is rampant, people liked to deal down the alley way of our back garden and stare at you when they did it. Numerous student houses were broken into, and one point a hammer attack on the Staffs Uni campus.

Considerable noise from main road but otherwise nice and close to the botanic gardens.

Very close location to town centre. Not very much street noise. Only complaint is a thin ceiling to the flat above making considerable noise.

the only positive aspect of the flat was that it was relatively close to the town and shops

No issues with neighbourhood. I'm not writing a review about the area. My issue is with the landlord and letting agent

very nice neighbourhood with very nice transort links. but unfortumstely this doesnt make up for having to go through a one year lawsuit

Shops and transport are good, but the blockhouse is full of inconsiderate people. They are unfriendly, and do not comply to basic hygiene measures, for example the rubbish disposal is a hazard because of their behavior.

The neighborhood is nice enough although crime has become a serious concern and there is not one weekend where you do not hear people fighting in the streets, police cars chasing down criminals or general lawlessness in the area
