Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Nice area, close enough to shops but was a bit far away from the university around a 20 minute walk.

Can’t fault the neighbourhood, lovely neighbours (they are mostly families so be respectful of that). Close to loads of shops and the town centre.

Very quiet. Stayed there for a year and never had any hassle from neighbours at all. Always somewhere to park though the street can be busy with cars.

Good for walk to Cheltenham station but Noisy main road lots of sirens due to M5 access for police and hospitals. Some areas around not good, my car insurance went up!

The house is located 3mins away from Morrisons and Aldi. There is a bus stop 2mins away from the house.

Quiet and pleasant. Free parking. Safe at night. There are shops close by and tube stations are a 15 min walk away.

There are good bus routes (45, 47, 61 and 63) into the city centre. There were shops next door and a short walk to a supermarket. Cannon Hill Park is a short walk away also.

Selly Oak is a very run-down, noisy and crime-riddled area. However the reason for the positive rating is due to the location to the uni, the range of shops around the area and most importantly, the sheer amount of students in the area. You are always close to your friends and peers and everyone is very supportive in the area.

Shops and station only 5-10 mins away from home. The building is exposed to the highway.

Not the best neighbourhood, especially dangerous at night, the was a attempted robbery in front of the building.
