Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

The house is close to the university and large shops like Lidl and Asda. Parking was available most of the time on permit.

Area was quiet, other students and family. 18mins walk to uni. Can sometimes be hard to find parking. Uni bus isn’t close. Close to farm foods , Asda ,savers and other shops

Somerstown is a much better area to live in than people might think. Close to Eldon, and Commercial Road. Busy front road but not a massive issue.

One of the main reasons we stayed there. Right between asda and morrisons. Near all the university buildings. A minute walk from the university club and train station. A few minutes walk from the high street.

Area is dirty and there is always police down our road. Some nice local shops and tram and bus stops are nearby but other than that, not a nice area to live in.

Close to Headingley town centre and the cricket ground with easy access to Leeds city centre.

Nice to be near the beach, far away from literally everything else, no good transport links.

A rougher area but never had any trouble. Very near lidl which is good.
Close to city centre

Nice area, close to centre.
Close to city road which has the best mix of restaurants and local shops.
Cathays student area is also very close.

Friendly neighbours however the road out front of the property is a nightmare! Speeding traffic, very large lorries from the builders merchant which causes the house to shake and cracks develop on the walls. Road noise pollution has become worse with the volume of traffic. Most Fridays expect traffic to come to a standstill out front the property. Very narrow pavements so not safe for young families. It’s a nightmare to park your vehicle on the drive as “snobbish” drivers make it very difficult for you to stop out front to reverse on to the very steep drive!
