Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Close to the University, shops, and local transport routes such as buses, trains and trams.
A student area.
Not the safest, there have been break-ins on the street.

The area is great. Close walk to Morrisons, the university, the high street and the town centre. However, the house does reside on a main road so sometimes noise can be an issue.

Very good location - close to the University and local amenities. However, very noisy as on a main road

Chiswick is a great area. Nice pubs, theatre and shops. Area is safe with nice parks near by.

Not great neighborhood, lot's of loud music from neighbors till very late, dogs barking constantly, lots of non-workers and homeless, traffic noise is constant and traffic fumes are very high

Lovely area and neighbours.

Very close to city centre. Great area to live in and wish that the service from the Letting agency was better

Most of the houses in the street are student houses, but it never seemed to get too noisy and very rarely did any of the neighbouring houses have any loud parties. It is in walking distance of the university and though a bit expensive, the co-op and Salisbury local are nearby make it easy to purchase food. It is also very nice having the Stoughton rec park nearby. The only issue is the property is quite far from the town and train station by foot.

Clicky church community that closes ranks and spreads gossip about you if you challenge their behaviour (8 month long anti dog poo campaign from the CofE school, ignoring complaints and telling lies to the police about the complainants conduct, in order to cover up the fact they ignored local residents requests for them to end the campaign due to littering in the neighbourhood and the tatty state of the signs - stuborn church/school organisation)

Very good location for students, around a 7 minute walk from university. Close to Sainsbury's.

The area is pretty good for going into the city centre. Obviously, it's advisable to be cautious when going out at night and there is an issue with people trying to steal bikes and motorbikes from the car park. Bramall does have a bike shelter which is (sort of) secure. The police are often called out to the neighbouring building and there's been lots of problems from them this year. On the bright side, it is only a 20 minute walk to the Arndale and a 15 minute walk to Salford Uni's main campus. 10 minutes walk away is the bus stop for the number 50 bus to Media City which is free for Salford students. The only other downside is that the nearest supermarket to get to on foot is the Aldi at the Arndale, which is always extremely busy. However, you can take the 50 bus to Salford Shopping City which is a lot quieter.
