Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Mostly a student area. 10 mins from both broomhill and crookesmoor shops. 15 mins from university. 5 mins from university gym. felt safe walking around the main road at night as good lighting and plenty of other students walking around too.

Mostly families in the area so not too loud overnight.
Inside the ring road within 5 minutes of devonshire green and the city centre, as well as 5 minutes from the university.
Right next to the ring road so could hear cars and ambulances at all hours.
Walking from the city centre/devonshire green can be a bit dodgy as it is not well lit - would advise taking the long route via west street between 10pm and 5am

Neighbours to the left and right are really lovely people, but the ones above often play music all night on weekday which became wearing.

Transport links are ok. Bit busy around school time and 5pm office workers home time. Few police incidents

Very nice walk around, by the Docks, close to asda and local shops, can be too quiet for some people!

Quiet, full of old people, great transport links. You have to get lucky with neighbours who will interact with you.

The neighbors used to be a grow house (weed) but they got busted and now a family of about 7 Romanians live there. It's also opposite a youth centre so kids tend to hang about.

Lovely community spirit with only one unbearable neighbour out of the many who live within this close knit community

Good local area - close to tube stations and good shops/supermarkets nearby. Quite a noisy road.

Fairly isolated, no cafes, shops, or culture as such. Bus stop directly outside and short cab ride to Brixton or Balham tube station. Nice and quiet location.
