Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Brighton And Hove, Brighton

Easy access to shop and amenities

I thoroughly enjoyed living in Brighton for 3 years while at university. It feels unlike anywhere else in the country, like its own little bubble full of eccentric people, art in the streets and generally more acceptance and tolerance than anywhere else in the UK. The downside of Brighton is the problems of homelessness and drug use which are very apparent in central Brighton. The seemingly unchecked exponential rise in drug dealers in Brighton will surely increase violent crime, which is a huge shame in such an otherwise idyllic place. There is also a huge wealth gap in Brighton, with areas such as Withdean and Dyke Road having huge mansions and supercars, while areas such as Whitehawk and Bevendean have very deprived residents often with generations of low socioeconomic status.
