Start with your university
Pick a university and see the buildings around it, with the walk or the ride to campus on every one.
Neighbourhoods
Where to look in Lancaster
Use these established student areas as starting points, then compare each property's rent and route to your university.
Where students live in Lancaster
Areas students actually take rooms in, with the buildings closest to each one. Matched by location, so a building appears under the area it stands in rather than the area its marketing claims.
City centre and Penny Street
The castle, the market and the pubs, and where most students who leave campus go. The bus to Bailrigg leaves from here constantly, which is the whole reason it works.
- 77-81 Penny Streetfrom £110/week
- CityBlock Marton Streetfrom £145/week
- 99-101 Penny Streetfrom £113/week
Freehold and Primrose
East of the centre up the hill, terraced and consistently the cheapest option with a short walk into town. A reliable source of shared houses.
- The Sail Works, Lancasterfrom £190/week
- Caton Courtfrom £115/week
Useful to know nearby
Places students in Lancaster actually use. We have no arrangement with any of them.
- Lancaster City Library
Free public study space close to the city-centre bus stops for Bailrigg.
- The 2 and 2A buses
The frequent A6 services joining the centre, Scotforth and Lancaster University.
- Charter Market
The city-centre market for food and everyday shopping, held around Market Square.
- Lancaster Canal
A flat walking and cycling route through the city, useful because many surrounding streets climb.

What to know before choosing a room in Lancaster
A city-by-city note about the decisions that change your daily routine. Prices and availability remain live in the listings above.
Lancaster University is not in Lancaster, quite. It sits at Bailrigg about three miles south of the city on a self-contained collegiate campus with its own shops, bars and library, and the city is a bus ride away down the A6. The University of Cumbria has a campus much closer in. That gap is the whole decision here: campus living puts you next to teaching and a long way from a city, and city living reverses both.

Getting around Lancaster
The 2, 2A and 4 buses between the city and Bailrigg run every few minutes through the day and late into the evening, and they are the single most important thing to check against any address. The ride takes around fifteen minutes. Cycling the campus route is popular and there is a dedicated path for much of it, though the last stretch climbs. Lancaster station is on the West Coast Main Line, which puts Manchester at about an hour, Glasgow at two and a half and London around two and a half, so this is an easy city to leave at a weekend.
Frequently asked questions
- 12 buildings in Lancaster publish a starting price, from £95 to £253 a week, and half of them start under £145. The range is wide for a single city: the dearest building starts at more than double the cheapest, so the headline figure tells you little until you have picked an area. Each figure is the cheapest room in that building, so compare the room lists rather than the headline.
- Everything we list in Lancaster is in City centre and Penny Street and Freehold and Primrose. Buildings are filed by their coordinates, not by the area their marketing claims, so the table above puts each one where it actually stands.
- Nearly all of them: 12 of 14. The remaining 2 publish nothing either way, which is not the same as charging extra, and each property page says which of the two it is.
