Student Accommodation in City Centre

Student housing in Brighton city centre

If you'd rather skip the commute entirely, student housing in Brighton city centre puts the station, the beach, the shops and the nightlife within walking distance of your front door. It's the obvious base for University of Brighton students at the Grand Parade campus, and for anyone who'd rather travel out to a quieter campus than live next to one. On Housr you filter by weekly price, bedrooms, bathrooms and room type, then use the map to weigh up which central streets actually suit you.

What's around the city centre

This is the busy core of Brighton. The Lanes and North Laine give you two distinct shopping quarters, one tight and historic, the other full of independent shops, record stores and street food. The seafront, the Palace Pier and the beach are a few minutes south, the Royal Pavilion sits in the middle of it all, and the city's clubs, music venues and theatres are mostly within walking distance. Day to day you've got every supermarket, gym and late-night option you could need without getting on a bus.

Getting around

The city centre is the most connected part of Brighton, which mainly means you can walk. Brighton station is central, with fast trains to London in around an hour and the short hop out to Falmer in about eight minutes. Every bus route passes through the centre, so the Brighton & Hove 25 and the rest of the Lewes Road services to the campuses are easy to pick up. Most students living here rarely need to.

Universities near the city centre

The University of Brighton's Grand Parade City campus is right here in the centre. The Moulsecoomb campus is a short bus ride up Lewes Road, and the University of Sussex at Falmer is an eight-minute train ride from Brighton station, so a central base works for every campus.
