Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Marchmont is lovely, no complaints about the neighbourhood. Mainly students, with good pubs and food

Great location but street often had noisy / seedy late night characters up and down it

Not a bad neighbourhood. Building is secure (if the front door is fixed). Its close by to the town and both unis.

Really good location. Felt very safe and quick 10 min walk to shops. 20 mins walk to city centre. Amazing public transport

Selly Oak. Bit of a walk from Main Street and parking was difficult at times. Thin road so issues with two way traffic.

very boring, sometimes got followed on the way home by someone intoxicated, even in day time

Superb - near shops, uni bus routes, parks and countryside, just a short walk to town.

Less than a 10 minute walk to local shops, Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury's, and lots of places to eat.
Lots of bus stops nearby and local pubs, bars, gym, shops.

Rookery road was a LOT nicer to live on than dawlish where I lived last year a lot quieter and cleaner and felt a bit safer walking back at night. However still in selly and there were break ins and smashed cars. Much easier to park too

The local area is very nice. Situated a 5 minute walk from town, the location is optimal. There are also multiple U2 bus stops which are really useful for travelling to University of Bath campus. The journey doesn't take more than 25 minutes each way. One down side of the area (and the property) is the lack of parking in the surrounding area. The property has no parking and the surrounding streets are all permit parking which makes it very hard to find a parking space.

NOTE: the neighbourhood is undoubtedly higher than a 4 star rating, although giving a higher rating would give this property a better rating which is frankly does not deserve.
