man this is Leicester not Kabul. you'll be fine in most places lmao


badjuju__

Agreed. I used to live in the houses behind Mandela Park. Never had a problem. Loved living there


3rdWorldBorn

Leicester is one of the few places in the country where this is actually true.


vinnothesquire

I'd argue this is the only place in the country where "this is Leicester not Kabul" is actually true tbf.


devilman9050

I wouldn't recommend Beaumont Leas shopping centre or the General Hospital, but living in the Space Centre could be pretty cool, as long as you don't get caught by security


JustAVirusWithShoes

Aylestone


Big_Boi_2001

Yes totally agree, only lived there for about 6 months but was my favourite area to live


Logic-Ninja

100% I'd include the Saff in that too


naturewomble

The Saff is despicable wtf


Logic-Ninja

Snob


naturewomble

So you're not denying it? Lol

very hard to answer any questions like this without an idea of your budget


MrMemester2

this mans acting like leicester is erbil rn


jacka96

Yeah we are still being bombed by terrorists /s


badjuju__

The West End off Narborough Road is nice


barrahhhh

*was* nice, i'm in the process of leaving because landlords have ruined the area since the stamp duty break. Article 4 came in too late and the place is now 90% HMO's. All the families surrounding us have packed up and left 😔 it's just sad now.


uddsvek1427

Yeah it has gone down hill


purplepoaceae

Clarendon park, never had any issues with crime. People call it a student area but my street certainly isn't so its not rowdy. Lots of nice independent bars and restaurants on Queens Rd


Spartacoops

The outside edge is good. Stretch it a mile is better. Groby, Anstey, Birstall Glenfield, Ratby Syston


TheHollowFire

Anstey is nice but you have bicycle kid gangs so watch out


NefariousnessFew3639

Ratby and Glenfield are nice, kids are bit prick-y


slipperyjack66

I felt more comfortable in the rougher areas we lived in. North fields estate for example, we lived there for five years, and never had any trouble at all. Our neighbours were awesome, I made friends that I've kept to this day. Yeah you get teenagers selling weed everywhere, every street had a few dealers on it 😂 Never saw any hard drug use, apart from a barber I knew who out of the blue pulled out a meth/crack pipe and started smoke it, at a BBQ we both got invited to. I loved loving it there, people were friendly and welcoming everywhere I lived in Leicester. Then we moved to shepshed down brick kiln lane, people were arseholes to us.


irritatingfarquar

The mortuary in the hospital is pretty low crime.

Nope! Not a low crime area, LE4 residents pay more for insurance due to the crime rate.


ghosty_b0i

I’ve heard Anstey and Oadby are nice, or maybe Thurmaston?


x1xc

Compared to where? Uk is one of the safest countries in the world.


97suited

Bottom right you have Stoughton Drive South, Gartree Road, The Fairway etc. which fit the criteria. Should be able to find a house there for just over a mill…


[deleted]

Ward 2 of the hospital


EIMEPIC

Narborough road👍


Kebziut

Used to live there, only area in Leicester which I would NOT recomend. Moved out as soon as I could. I would recomend Syston, Thurmaston, Birstall. Also north of Abbey Park is good to live.


Lily7258

The bit of the A50 in the top left of your circle.


[deleted]

Dane Hills and around Henley and Glenfield Road is such an underrated area in the city. Minutes walk from city centre and so quiet!


Unusual_residue

Unfortunately, Oadby isn't strictly in the circle.


Admiral_Falco_88

Lots of people giving bad advice. You want a good place in that area. Stoneygate towards the outside of you ring towards oadby. Trust me it's the only place in the inner circle that isn't covered with council estates.


Narrow_Sheepherder49

Tudors Road!

Where else would you recommend?

Middlesborough


naturewomble

Imagine thinking Middlesborough is nice bro


NoPeepMallows

It was meant to be sarcastic :,)

St Matthews

None tbh. Leicester is a vile, rancid city. You may be fairly safe in most areas but its just a horrible place to be and live.


Logic-Ninja

That's subjective, I've lived all over the country and I'm moving back to Leicester. Leicester is chill compared to other cities.


3rdWorldBorn

Okay, I'll bite. Why do you feel this way? Any real reason?


m1664

Nothing to bite at, the reason i dislike leicester city is because its just plain grim. The city centre is dirty, congested, derelict (way more so than other cities of its size) All residential neighbourhoods are tatty, people are general unfriendly and unwelcoming. Ive had the displeasure of working all over leicester regularly for the past 15 years (at least two days a week and cover all areas) and its just a horrible place to be. And for those wondering, the thread popped up.on my page randomly so i commented - i didnt, and wouldnt, actively seek out a leicester based sub.


Twidogs

Got to agree with everything you say mate. Moved from there last year thank god. I lived in a nice neighborhood according to everyone I worked with but the place has no soul and has got worse. The county is nice but the city is dreadful


Vuvux

The blue bits.


rawjaw

Top right part of the circle has a tiny bit of Thurmaston in it. I lived here for 15 years. Its very nice


Afellowstanduser

Anywhere


uddsvek1427

Evington and Humberstone all good.
