Student accommodation in Leeds

Student Accommodation in Leeds

Leeds, a bold and lively city perfectly encapsulated by the Leeds United football chant ‘Marching On Together’, is hugely popular with students from all over the world thanks to its five universities: the University of Leeds, Leeds Beckett University, Leeds Trinity University, Leeds Art University, and the University of Law (Leeds).

It can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to looking for somewhere to live in a city this big, but as the biggest dedicated website for Leeds student accommodation, we at UniHomes are here to help you feel right at home.

The Leeds student housing market: everything you need to know

Hyde Park is definitely the most desirable location for student homes in Leeds. As well as being home to the actual park, Woodhouse Moor, it’s also a bustling student hub with plenty of residential accommodation to go around. If you live in student housing in this Leeds area, you’ll find yourself only a short 15-min walk away from the University of Leeds in one direction, and an even shorter walk away from some very popular social spots – Hyde Park Book Club and music venue Brudenell Social Club are particularly great places to start your night out right.

A bit further out of the city, you’ll find Headingley. This popular suburb is famous for a few things, namely its cricket and rugby stadiums, its great range of pubs and restaurants, and for being the starting point of The Otley Run. There’s a reason Headingley is often the first choice for student homes in Leeds.

Other areas you might look at include Woodhouse, which puts you right on the edge of the UoL campus, or the city centre itself. Where the Woodhouse scene is more relaxed (think community pubs such as The Chemic Tavern), the city centre is a thriving social hubbub filled with clubs and bars like Mean-Eyed Cat and Viaduct.

The most popular student property types in Leeds are undeniably four-bed houses, with two-bed flats, and three-bed and five-bed houses not far behind.
