Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

A nice, semi-rural and mainly quiet cul-de-sac, Great, friendly, neighbours for the most part but I can't endorse moving here due to the nightmare you will face with the landlord!

Good location. Neighbourhood is nice and the bus stop will get you everywhere you need

The property is within a 5 minute walk of the uni which is fantastic but also means you’re surrounded by other students and extremely loud parties went on well past freshers. Over 100 people were in the house joined to this one while I lived there and the noise was so loud even from the second floor of the house that it felt like the party was happening centimetres from me. The neighbours would leave bags of rubbish in the garden and outside the front of the house, they puked and peed all over the entryway, across the street people would put speakers out of their windows and blast music until 4am. I didn’t sleep properly even one night that I lived here.

Very quiet and green area. Both Seaton park and a Lidl are within walking distance. The building is next to a primary school but this wasn't very disruptive to us. There are good bus connections to the town centre via King Street (5 minute walk).
There is private parking but during school hours this is often used by parents to pick up or drop off.

The flat is above Lidl which is very convenient. However the car park does gather groups of people late at night. Our bin is also in the car park which the public use so it is always overflowing near our front door. All in all though for the price and convenience of uni, the location is fine.

Worst neighbourhood I have ever lived in. The entire street is made up of students and parties went on well past freshers. Could not get a single nights sleep in the two months I lived here. The neighbouring house belonged to the mens rugby team who often had parties in the shared basement. They stole our garden furniture, vomited on the building and front door, and caused damage to the property that we had to pay for.

Local area is close to the beach and uni, few parks and plenty of small supermarkets and takeaways. Only good thing about living here.

Local shopping centre, convenience store just 1 minute away. Neighbours seems to trade in cars from the street so parking isn't always easy. On a bus route, can be a bad thing as bus passes the house every 5 minutes in the daytime and run 6:30am-11pm.

Attractive tree-lined area of the city and an easy 10-minute walk into town to shops/bus/train. There is not much in the way of shops immediately nearby but they are only 10 minutes away, and parks are only a 5 min walk away.

Student area, not the best but safe, and close to both universities and town center. Bus links relatively close.
