I lived on a council estate in Leeds for almost 10 years. tho there was occasionally a bit of trouble with kids 'messing about' at the bottom end of the estate, overally it was fine, and immediately round me was really quiet, peaceful and friendly. (Mind you it did have the reputation of being the best estate in the city, and there are certainly 2 or 3 I would NOT have wanted to live on).
