Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Neighbourhood was fine but not the safest and the agency left our fence hanging off for ages after a storm.

Since there is no washing facilities the frith site is on the door step and it only a 10 -15 min walk from the uni.

House was close to all mainstream shops (Asda, Lidl etc) and about 5-10 minutes from the high street. It would only take us 5 minutes to walk to university buildings such as Brambell, Thoday and Memorial. The street could get very noisy at night, especially on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Drunk students would bang on the lounge windows or front door at times. People would regularly use our recycling bins to throw their rubbish in too. The alleyway in between our house and the barbershop was usually filthy and attracted drunk people. However, we never really had an issue with the noise personally and we rarely went into the alleyway except when we were putting the bins out for collection.

Area was good and was just behind the gym of Ffriddoedd village Halls. Ideal location for those going to Normal Site to study and those that prefer to be in Upper Bangor.

There is a pub nearby, sometimes music is too loud and too many drunk people shouting outside at night. Flat is near very busy street and buses are going just a few meters from window, it can be quite loud

If you are Coventry University student, the area is good just because it is close. Other than that, it is pretty filthy, there are a lot of wild mice and rats living nearby, you can see them every day in the bushes.

The area was really quiet and such a pleasant place to live. Nice freindly neighbours. Short walk from city centre and from the sea front that looks onto Beaumaris. Very close to the University, very close to some nice pubs (without being too close). Hirael is a lovely community to live in.

Very good access to nearby services. Within a 2 minute walk from the property is Bangor’s train station, B&M, Matalan and a DM fitness, as well as two chinese takeaways. It is only a 10-15 minute walk to the University so only as close as Ffriddoedd site for students.

The graveyard location was an interesting experience!

Very convenient for the QE, buses into Birmingham etc.
Quiet street
15 min walk into Harborne

Lovely neighbours, off street parking as well as plenty of space for visitors. Close to Manchester and Salford University.
