Anybody know much about sheepscar?Come this september, myself and four others will be living on sackville street, which is just off meanwood road and servia hill.
I was just wondering what opinions people had on this area/areas surrounding it. When we put down the deposit we weren't really too aware on the area but some people have said it's quite rough.
The more opinions the better; i'm hoping we didn't sign for the house too quickly.
Thanks -

Re: Anybody know much about sheepscar?Hi
The area is like most others in the Uk - there are good bits and ones that are a little bit rougher.
It is not too bad where your street is, you are closer to the more student area - so you should make sure you take normally sensible precautions against burglary - as it is one of the crimes that every student area across the UK tends to see.

Re: Anybody know much about sheepscar?It's close to Woodhouse which is one of the areas in Leeds with the highest crime rate, and I think Meanwood is quite rough too. From what I've seen of Sheepscar, there's not an awful lot there, apart from some quite tired looking housing, a few small shops and the Post Office sorting office.
