Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Local area had a corner shop and was within walking distance to the supermarket. Near the city centre too. High crime rate was sometimes an issue, along with other anti-social behaviour.

Lovely area (for Glasgow), unfortunately constant road noise all day and night, plus airport noise. Near a high school so the kids drop rubbish outside your house everyday, the parents block the roads everyday, fine if you aren’t here during school hours.

Crime ridden, sorry to inform. My house was burgled three times over 9 years. I kept on living because of close proximity to my workplace.

Area was great. Good transport and schools. Close by to shop, supermarkets and pharmacies.

The house is on a fairly busy cut through but has good local schools and transport links.

As a student area the neighborhood has clearly had investment from student housing and shops like Spar and Subway but cross a bridge in any direction and you'll hit deprived and crime ridden parts of the city. Police sirens are frequent at all hours, as are fights kicking off in the street. Surrounding neighbourhoods are frequently in the local and national news for serious crime, and the occasional body washes up in the Irwell.

Often felt unsafe in the surrounding area, particularly along Shepherds Bush Green at night

Greencourt house was a quiet block, no issues with neighbours.
Stepney Green is a busy area, mostly the cheaper kind of shop/food outlet. The tube station was <5 minutes walk.
Mile end park and the canal also close.

The local area is quite nice, with some lovely streets and nearby forest. Shops are not very close. Shame this property is a no go.

Great access to shops and a local park. But we were robbed twice. Crime is clearly a massive issue.
