Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Despite the poor state of the property, the village was lovely! A nice pub, lovely country walks nearby, a very convenient railway station taking you either way to Huddersfield or Sheffield.
Nice local bakery in the village, and very convenient for commuting to the M1 motorway. The neighbours (with the exception of the landlord 2 doors away), where all lovely and helpful.

Good neighbourhood. Except , the constant traffic noise, all facilities were within minutes.

The local area is lovely. It's very quiet and there are nice parks nearby. Really close to bus stops and London Road station.

Given that Aberdeen is not a big city by any means, Hillhead is very far away from the city centre (a 40-minute walk). This is made up for by the fact that Hillhead itself is a fun place to be for a year to experience what it is like to live with other first-year students. Lots of partying going on, which can also mean noise pollution if you live with (or adjacent to) those who like to party.

Urquhart Road is not a very safe area. There was often a police car parked in the street to catch drug dealers, the corner store got robbed several times, and the wine shop had to close because it was too unsafe to sell luxury products in the street.

Pleasant. Friendly neighbours, although one was a hoarder with a garden full of broken down cars and electrical devices. Good transport links, good amenities, not an attractive area, but safe.

The neighbours were nice but we were very out of the way and in snow or very poor conditions you were cut off. A co-op was about 10/15 mins walk but overall too out of the way for most people.

Bus stop right outside the house to uni and into town. Lots of on street parking although we did see a couple of smashed in windows throughout the year and it could be noisy at night due to it being a student area.

Decent local area. Shops nearby but a very busy high street means lots of local noise from traffic.

Perfect for young professionals/post graduates. Have bins unlike most of Cathays and loads of takeaways shops. So close to Roath Park which is a massive bonus.
