A police cordon remains in place while investigations continue.
The full statement from Detective Inspector Dan Holloway, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "Officers were called to Rifle Street, Radford, at 9.30am today (Saturday, February 12) after a report of a sudden death.
"A man's body was found.
"His death is currently being treated as unexplained and further investigations are taking place."
Families living in the area said it is usually quiet.
Karolina Szatka, 37, of Gatling Street, said: "Normally nothing like that happens around here. I’ve lived here for 10 years and haven’t heard anything before.
"I went for a walk with my dog this morning and saw it was there. Our neighbours are usually friendly too."
Mohammad Ameen, who lives locally, said: "That’s the first time I’ve seen something like that around here.
"It's a good area. I was going to the shops when I first saw it earlier this morning."
A 31-year-old woman on Gatling Street, who did not wish to be named, said: "It’s alright around here normally, I’d not long come back from work and saw the cordon in place.
"There’s usually the odd bit of drama but nothing too bad. I’ve been around here for years and there haven’t been problems, but then I do keep myself to myself."
A 46-year-old resident on Rifle Street said: "I went out this morning and there were loads of police, there were about seven or eight cars.
"They taped off from my gate to the other side of the road. I’ve lived here for 24 years and it’s not that bad here."
A retired resident on Citadel Street, who did not wish to be named, said: "It’s quite a quiet area, normally it’s okay.
"I’ve been here over 35 years and there’s never been anything like this. There have been incidents in other areas of Radford I’m aware of, but not around here. I’m not sure what’s going on. Our neighbours are all lovely too."
But other residents raised concerns about the area.
A 38-year-old woman living on Citadel Street, who did not wish to be named: "It’s not unusual, we do hear loud voices and fighting and shouting, but you learn to ignore it. I saw the cordon in place this morning."
A resident on Citadel Street said: "It’s surprising when it’s just around the corner from your house, but it’s not really the nicest area."
