Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Ashley Down Road is a great place to live. The flat was on the main road and there's a pub close by. It's quite lively and sometimes a tad noisy, but it's close to Gloucester Road, shops, gym, college etc. Great location.

Situated in a quieter safer part of town but opposite a playing field where all the locals take their dogs to do their poo's and have a walk. Not nice seeing it all day from your lounge. Also dogs fighting and barking. Including next doors dog.
When the football is on everyone parks all over the place and you can hear the match and even footballers swearing sometimes. Kids can hang out here at.night.
But i felt safe and it is a nice area.

Nice, quiet family neighbourhood in Canterbury. Not a heavily student-y area like some other areas - mostly families and retired couples, but it was a decent compromise between being able to walk to uni and into town. Only downside is it is a bit of a walk to a nearby bus stop but other than that - can't complain. The neighbours next to us were slightly noisy as a young family you could often hear the children screaming and parents shouting through the adjoining wall.

Neighbourhood is great, very quiet, although had some minor issue with a neighbour letting their property as an Air-B&B property and the tenant not putting rubbish into provided bins, leading to some issues with foxes.

It is a quiet area, with both students and families. Everyone is friendly, and although it is not the nicest area of Cardiff it feels safe. My road led out to Albany Road, a major shopping street and also Wellfield Road, and between these two there wasn't any need to venture into the town centre as all the essentials were a 5 minutes walk away. A lot of the shops are locally owned as well, and so it is nice to be able to get to know the people who work there and it makes it feel so much more homely.

Lovely area. Great amenities. Park close by. Neighbours outside of the block of flats were nice. I did get my car smashed into though and they drove off but..
I miss the area as it was a nice walking distance to places.

Nice area.
The neighbours are nice enough, didn't really speak to them during tenancy.

Had no problems with the area, it was very close to the university and train station so ideal on that front.

The Redand area is convenient and sought after to live in as it is has lots of buses going through it as well as a train station and plenty of shops, cafes and bars. It can be a bit loud at night, depending on where you live, but nowhere near as loud as Stokes Croft or some parts of St Pauls. Parking can be tricky and some houses and cars get broken into if they are not alarmed but that is true of all of Bristol, really.

The area is well-connected in terms of buses (although these get stuck in traffic so travel times are unpredictable) and is about a half an hour walk from the train station and about 40 min to the centre. Would be ok for cyclists as they can avoid traffic problems.
