Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

For me the local area was unpleasant although as mentioned the long term neighbours were lovely. Really pleasant people. There was a lot of movement among neighbours but that is to be expected in London. It is on a long road with several late night corner stores. It is reasonably near to a late night Tesco superstore. As mentioned bus stop opposite and overground train station a ten minute (at most) walk. I cycle and the cycling was horrendous. The roads and infrastructure are poorly maintained, large potholes, and dangerous driving.

Area was close to city centre, anyone can jump from the backyards and also most of Ex tenants has keys that they can come in.

I actually like the neibourhood, it's the only reason I held on as long as I did. Close to absolutely everything.

Good links with uni and buses etc but a bit loud if you live at the front of the house.

The neighbourhood is OK, not luxurious but close to the city centre and as a result, a very diverse mix of social, racial, circumstantial, professional backgrounds. It does lack social amenities such as restaurants and bars, but there is a beautiful park (Birchfields) and it is a short walk into the city centre. In terms of safety, the street I lived on specifically (Dickenson Rd) could be questionable at times and there was often a man lurking outside my front door asking for money.

Your only neighbour is the landlord. I wish we had know how horrible she was before moving in as we wouldn't have gone near the place. Leaving due to her behaviour.

Right next to park. Walk to station. Fireworks season a big problem. Convenient location.

The neighbourhood is fine but there are not enough lampposts by the gates to feel safe. The property is also never closed so anyone can enter.

It was close to the city center and the neighbourhood had a lot of nice shops nearby.

Broomhall appears much worse than it is, run down in places but a community feel more so than other studenty areas. Convenient for town, eccy road and the universities and hospitals
