Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Bristol

If you go looking for trouble it will find you in southmead. Keep yourself to yourself and be prepared to deal with gangs of kids at times.

Nice area if a little far away from public transport. Pleasant neighbourhood, good for families, but difficult if you have no car.

It's a great area, handy for the great food and part of the community of Easton. We're on a busy road but there are potential plans to calm traffic further. There are a lot of families, young hipsters and cultural diversity around here and we're close to the excellent Whitehall Primary school. We can also get on the B2B cycle path easily, wander around Greenbank cemetery or Eastville Park, and get on the motorway in minutes.

Redland is lovely, quiet but with shops & some sense of community. Close to uni & train

Area is perfect for University of Bristol, 10m from Cabot Circus, 15 from Clifton Down Sainsbury's. Not much is 'going on', but other than that excellent.

10 minutes walk from Bristol uni. 5 minutes from Gloucester Road (but will have to walk back up a big hill on the way back). A nice, quiet area.

Lockleaze is okay, shops are a 10 min walk, buses are kinda regular.

The property was in Redland, a nice area with a mix of families and students. Small corner shops a stones throw from the house and bigger supermarkets, bars and other shops within a 5-10 min walk.

A lovely area with amenities nearby. A bit quiet for me, but close enough to Whiteladies Road, Chandos Road and Gloucester Road.

A great area in general, although as it's a main road it can be a bit dirty/litter-strewn. Has some convenient shops across the road. Close to Gloucester Road.
