Student Accommodation in Aston

Student housing in Aston

Student housing in Aston puts you a short hop north of Birmingham city centre and right next to Aston University. On Housr, you can filter the options by weekly price, bedrooms, or bathrooms to find your perfect accommodation with ease. Aston sits just off the city centre, close enough to walk in when the weather behaves and quick enough by train when it doesn't. It's better known for football and a 400-year-old hall than for student nightlife, which suits people who want the centre on their doorstep without paying centre prices.

What's around Aston

The area's two landmarks are hard to miss. Villa Park, home to Aston Villa since 1897, sits on Trinity Road, and matchdays turn the whole place claret and blue. A few minutes away, Aston Hall is a Jacobean mansion built between 1618 and 1635, now a museum set in Aston Park, which is the green space most locals head to.

For everything else, the city centre does the heavy lifting. The Bullring, the bars around Digbeth, and the restaurants of the centre are a few minutes away by train, and the Star City entertainment complex with its cinema and food sits just across the Aston Expressway in neighbouring Nechells. Day to day, Lichfield Road and Aston Cross cover the shops, takeaways, and supermarket basics.

Getting around as a student

This is Aston's strong suit. Aston and Witton stations both sit on the Cross-City Line, and trains reach Birmingham New Street in around six minutes, roughly every fifteen. Buses help too: the 8A and 8C inner-circle services loop round to the city via Aston Cross, the 67 runs in from Castle Vale, and the X3 heads along Lichfield Road. Drivers have the Aston Expressway straight into town, and the centre is an easy cycle at about two miles.

Universities near Aston

Aston University is the closest; its city-centre campus is a little over a mile south at Gosta Green, which makes Aston one of the handier places to live for getting in. Birmingham City University and its Eastside campus are nearby in the centre too, along with University College Birmingham. Studying further south at the University of Birmingham? The Cross-City Line links the two ends of the city through New Street.

Accommodation in Aston

You'll find a mix here: purpose-built studios and en-suite rooms closer to the university edge, plus shared houses across the residential streets. On Housr, filter by weekly price, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, and single rooms or studios, then move between list view, tile view, and the interactive map to see how each place lines up against campus and the stations. Sorted a house, but need one more person in it? Roomie matches you with other verified students to fill the room.

Bills, sorted

Aston student houses don't always come with bills included, and chasing several providers across a tenancy is a hassle you don't need. Housr Bills rolls energy, water, WiFi, and free Contents Cover into one monthly payment in the app. Liability is split per person, so a missed payment from one housemate stays their problem, not yours.
