Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Location is all that’s going for this flat to be, very central right behind the West Port

The only reason this doesn't get all available stars is the neighbours. Its location is perfect: practically in town and near all the classes, but away from the worst of the noise. You get the light and the view of a main street without losing privacy because it's one level up.
However, the downstairs neighbours seem to have a feud with one another (over their cats or something?) and one of them will talk your ear off about it every time you try to walk by to get into the flat, and whoever is upstairs from you will annoy the sh*t out of you every time they accidentally set off their oversensitive fire alarm with slightly overdone toast.

Quiet street, mix of students and locals. 10 minutes from either side of town and less than 5 minutes to Aldi.

Good location, nice neighbours, about a 15 minute walk from town centre, five minute walk to main shops

Centre of town, so close to shops (not the cheap ones like Asda though). No complaints from or about the neighbours, apart from other flats not taking the bins out

Very loud neighbours but fairly safe neighbourhood. Quite far from any shops but still within walking distance. Bus stop is a few houses down which is helpful but means a lot of noise from buses and coaches.

About a fifteen minute walk from the Hallam campus, five-ten minutes' walk from Sainsbury's on Ecclesall Rd. and other amenities. Street itself is very green, although traffic is horrendous as people use it as a "short-cut" to avoid Ecclesall Road. There is a patch of parking space which doesn't require a permit (!) directly outside the property, unlike most streets in the area.

The house is right in the middle of town, which is perfect if you want to be able to get to most places quickly. This did also mean that it could be quite loud at night, as it is near the Union and the neighbours would sometimes have loud parties.

Its about a ten minute walk from the town centre. Although Abbey Walk is an artery out of St Andrews, it is relatively quiet. St Andrews is a good place to live and to study.

Very close to Aldi, which is perfect. 10-15 minute walk into town or 5 minutes on a bike. Buses pass by the end of the road.
