Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Great area with Crouchend , Archway and Highgate only a ten minute walk away. Closest station is Archway

Occasional break-ins into the house, but overall not a bad neighbourhood. Close to main road and shops.

Very close to trams which can be convenient. Fairly close to university and has a tesco opposite.

Anti social area selective licence needed but landlord doesn't have one he's a bully and sends bully's to the house late at night to threaten you abusive and police had spoken to him 3 times in 2 wks and then changed the locks half way through my moving out stealing most of my furniture

The house was very close to the local train station, food shops, university and high street.

Area for the first 3years(2015-2018) or so was quite ok, quiet with friendly neighbours but things changed especially after PureGym opened across the road... things got quite a bit different after, especially in the morning and afternoon. Some of the newer neighbours have a habit of getting annoyingly load Friday-Saturday over night(loud TV, karaoke God knows what).

It is a 30 second walk to selly oak train station, 4 minute walk to aldi and a 10 minute walk to uni so the location is pretty much perfect.

Area was student area so not the best place but was safe and quiet enough. Free roadside parking.

Great Neighbourhood. Close to all transport and shopping. Safe place to walk at night.

Close* to the shopping park, which has a range of shops such as carpetright and shoezone. Not too far* from Aldi, or Sainsbury’s if you’re a snob. Unfortunately we didn’t get to experience the delights of Selly Oak, as our front door kept breaking and we were regularly trapped inside.


*I should stress that Heeley Road is approx 500 miles long, and this house is at the end. Rumour has it The Proclaimers based their hit song on this street.
