Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Jesmond is the best area of Newcastle, certainly is beautiful with tall trees, victorian houses and many shops and cafes. However student areas tend to be very neglected, with landlords and students not removing weeds, so front of houses look horrible, I cleared up moss and placed flowers, but rest no good. Back roads (rubbish bins roads) are the kingdom of trush and rats... All of this for over £750 per month!!!

Great links to the university and small highstreet less than 5 mins away with a Sainsburys. Only about 30 min walk to the city centre so everything super close!

Local transport links ok when buses turn up. Nothing to do in local area. No shops apart from spar. All closed down and now either take aways or nail/beauty bars.

Whilst a tenant in this property I witnessed two murders and numerous incidents of anti social behaviour. The two flats beneath me were used a brothel on numerous occassions. People came and went in the property so you never knew who your neighbour was. When I approached the agents about the brothels they did nothing to resolve the situation.

Bangor is what it is, but the landlady is easily the best I have had. It's clean, quite quiet, too.

Good neighbourood , everything is very close by. There is a grocery store right in front.

Really nice area, great parks and quiet with young families. The main road has a lot of traffic. Better if you bike.

after we fixed everything, apartment was livable
i like the neighborhood but even if it's 5 star hotel standard at cabbage price, i won't rent from this landlord. Been renting and living for years but he is one in a million

The neighbourhood is fantastic! Without it, the house would just be another dive in another bad area.

Transportation is alright with around 10-15mins walk to the closet DLR station. However a skatepark is right behind the building, so you will always hear loud music from the skatepark at night. The residential parking is always blocked by cars parked by the parents from the school opposite
