Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

The area was residential, though there were a few other student properties around. Not great transport links as the only one back to the property was the 5 - its reputation is deserved. There was a corner shop less than 5 minutes away but the nearest actual supermarket was a Co-Op around 15 minutes walk away.

Either side, the neighbours were pleasant. Though nothing to do in area other than walk to the farm. If want to constantly be surrounded by student hustle and bustle, this is not the area for you.

Great neighbourhood just off harborne high street. Coop at the top of the road is incredibly useful. Very friendly neighbours. Only drawback is that it is right opposite a school so parking in the morning (8.30-9) and at hometime (about 2.20-3.30, the school has staggered end times) is very difficult. Often we would have to park 5-10 minutes away, difficult if you have bags of shopping!

Average. Alright transport links. Quite a good corner shop opposite- all items are priced quite reasonably and it is open for long hours.

At first glance the local area is great. It has close links to the city centre with loads of regular buses into town. Even an Uber is relatively cheap. It was also close to Harborne and Bearwood high streets. However, there are also quite a few unsavory elements - drug addicts and prostitution is common.

Close to Selly Oak main street and Uni of Birmingham. Also close to Selly Oaktrain station

The flat is very central and really convenient for the university and for shopping. The transport links are excellent. It can get a bit noisy on Wednesday and Friday nights but not enough for major disturbances.

It’s a quiet and safe area. Friendly neighbours and lots of professionals in the area.

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.)
