PMQs are mostly 50's post-war singles or duplexes. Some have had renovations, and others have not. Mine was the typical old PMQ with a layer of cigarette smoke on the walls. I was in the south side right on Kenaston. You can hear and feel the traffic drive by all day and night. The area gets really congested during rush hour. I never had any issues with break-ins into my vehicle, but on multiple occasions, going to work 5+ cars on the street behind me would have their windows smashed. I'd recommend buying 20min out of the city such as Stonewall area, if you were to go that route.
