Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Shirley is a bit of a mixed-bag when it comes to property; transport is regular. The area can be a little rough.

Slap bang in the middle of town, barely 100 steps from the beach with bus links to everywhere and a 15 minute walk to the train station, you couldn't ask for a better location

Parking is a nightmare, if you live here, it's best not to drive at all

Location is ok. Very close to Westfield and good transport by bus and underground with central and circle lines.

Great location to St Peters Campus, the beach, gym and local supermarkets. You have virtually everything there. Unfortunately, the neighbors were not that great. After 8PM you can't do ANYTHING. Any tinny noise and they knock on your door.

great area - right by the bars/clubs, bit dangerous but thats all part of the fun
student area

Nelson Street is a great area - about 8 minutes walk from the Students' Union and also to ALDI and Marks and Spencer. Mostly friendly neighbours, except one house that was relentless with unnecessary complaints and general rudeness.

City centre. Good for individuals with disabilities due to elevators in the building, ramp access, and extremely close proximity to town shops and cafes (about a 2 minute walk to Starbucks and 4 to Tim Hortons). Glider G1 30 seconds from the door (drops you outside andersontown Lidl and picks up across the road if you don't want to order or walk for groceries) and G2 about 4 minutes (at a slow pace). Metros set down at Wellington place just on the other side of the road, however pick up is 6/7 minute walk, good if you're able bodied but physical disabilities make this a pain.

Close to takeouts and cafes, bit of a walk to transport if you're not very physically able. Near enough to train to hear the horn blare. Near enough to the Holylands to get excessive noise at 2-4am and various police cars on patrol.

Very close to uni. Two of us drive so Sainsburys and Aldi were easy to get to. 45 minutes walk from clubs.

Lovely town, with great amenities, really going to miss the place, neighbours were awesome
