Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Situated in Bangor town, close to the main high street and bus station. Approximately a 20 minute walk from the train station.

Right next to large tesco, stay on university side of salford precinct and you should be fine. next to large police station and near salford royal hospital so many sirens at night. Had some trouble with local people but minimal in 3 years I lived there. Usually drunk/homeless people trying to ask you for money or travelers (very rare though.)

Nice area, parking is very busy so can be difficult to get a space. There is a problem with gangs- day to day it’s fine although there was a stabbing on the road and visable drug dealing.

Lovely: quiet, safe, friendly, a good mix of people and a nice, genuine community feeling. Generally a pretty affluent area but not overwhelmingly "posh" and not at all chocolate-boxy or pretentious - a real sense of something for everyone. Town centre, library, train station, swimming pool etc. within easy walking distance. Real community spirit, all kinds of interesting things going on, lots of originality and creativity; many independent shops and services such as independent bookshops and even a cobbler's.

Obviously, we all love St Andrews, and North Street was a wonderful place to be for two years.

We were a little bit further out than we might have liked but only because we went on foot everywhere. You're still very close to McDonalds, Lidl, Tesco and there is a little corner shop about 2 mins from the house. Its not really a student area so you don't get the issues of noise or litter flying around like on college road.

Central St Andrews, perfectly safe. Only issue was the lane wasn't fully lit and difficult for delivery drivers.

Transport is good from this place, not a family type of area as it is too close to the council

There are good bus links into St Andrews and Dundee, with a bus stop at the end of the street. It is about an 8 minute walk to Aldi however Costcutter and Spar are just around the corner. There are some elderly neighbours, and as such loud parties or loud music are not allowed.

The street is absolutely gorgeous and you're a stone's throw from Ecclesall Rd. Two mins from the Hallam Collegiate Campus and approx 20 mins from the University of Sheffield. Only minus one star for difficulties with neighbours who we felt resented the fact that we were students renting on the street (despite us all being postgraduates - we felt like they made their mind up about us before they met us).
