Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

The area in general (ie Mill Road) is thriving and vibrant, and very close to the centre. The traffic is awful, but there are lovely back ways to travel into town by bike. There is a cafe opposite, a new mosque, plenty of shops and a giant sainsburys just around the corner. Romsey Lakes and the brook are a very short walk away.

There is a bus-stop directly outside the front of the house, and a coop supermarket 30 seconds away, as well as two pubs within five minutes walk. The river is fairly close too, as is Cambridge North train station. Excellent for anyone working on the Science Park or Business Park, though further away from the town centre than I'd like to be (about a 20 minute cycle).

Close to local shops, train station, busses, and great neighbours. Couldn't fault it.

Excellent location for University links, low crime rates, close to high street with many amenities

Lovely friendly neighbourhood, a small rural village with local cafes and a shop. A beautiful view of the Severn, stretching across to Wales and Portishead. A large park and village hall for the children and community use as well as a decent school and pre school. Wonderful place to bring up children or retire to, however I would advise seeking an altertletting agent/landlord.

Great transport links- right next to St Denys train station and very good bus links. Close to array of shops, bars, clubs and restaurants. Great location for students of University of Southampton and Solent University. Not as loud as other student areas.

There is a lot to do in Portswood. Great location for students as lots of shops, bars and clubs. In addition, good public transport links and 30minutes walk to University and Solent.

local area is lovely, close to city centre. Neighbours are also young, never had an issue.

Quiet, friendly area, parking available, but town is walkable distance. Gym and park really close.

Neighbourhood was good. Good area to live in but the experience was traumatic due to a rogue landlord
