Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Bristol

The area seems to be riddled with crime these days. We’ve had our car broken into and I narrowly avoided a mugging within 200m of the front door.

It does have a good close proximity to the city centre which is a bonus but the area is so run down it’s really not worth it. I never felt safe walking at night around this area and was always on edge.

Great area, nice to be by the downs, and quiet.

Great area, great location. Loads of shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs.

Poor, dirty, doesn’t feel safe and have been serious incidents happen in the area, graffiti everywhere, not a very friendly or welcoming place.

I love living in this area so much. Amazing location for students at both UWE and UOB with regular bus services to both unis. Lots of bars/pubs and food places and 2 min walk away from the lovely St. Andrews park.

Awful. Just truly awful.

Lovely neighbourhood and it is full of great people. Very safe and very local to everything. Train station a stone throw away and the houses are pretty to look at.

Nightmare neighbours from hell, never met such people in my life! clicky neighbourhood but as a whole isn’t to bad! Neighbours were awful though and had 6 years of hell

St Paul's is convenient for transport and access to shops etc, but there are a lot of junkies shooting up in doorways and urinating.

Landlady lives opposite - can watch and see the house at all times!!! Very uncomfortable for all living here.! DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE
