Student Accommodation in Hanover & Elm Grove

Student housing in Hanover and Elm Grove

Hanover and Elm Grove is the area of steep, colourful terraced streets running up the hill east of The Level. It's one of the most characterful places to live in Brighton, close enough to walk into town and packed with pubs. Student housing in Hanover and Elm Grove draws students who want community over convenience. On Housr you filter by weekly price, bedrooms, bathrooms and room type, then check each house on the map so the famous Hanover hills don't catch you out on the walk home.

What's around Hanover and Elm Grove

Hanover has long been known for having a pub on what feels like every corner. The Constant Service on Islingword Street is a favourite, with regular live music and a reputation for its homemade pies, and it's far from the only one. Down at the bottom of the hill, The Level is a big open park with a skatepark, fountains and table tennis, and it doubles as the shortcut between Hanover, London Road and the city centre. Elm Grove itself climbs north towards the racecourse and the hospital, lined with shops and cafés.

Getting around

The big draw here is that you can walk. The city centre, The Level and London Road's shops and station are all a downhill stroll, and from there the rest of Brighton opens up. For the Lewes Road campuses, the corridor and its frequent buses sit just to the east, so a short walk or hop gets you onto the Brighton & Hove 25. The only downside is the climb back up the hill.

Universities near Hanover and Elm Grove

The University of Brighton's Grand Parade City campus is an easy walk through town, and its Moulsecoomb campus is a short bus from nearby Lewes Road. The University of Sussex at Falmer is reachable by the 25 or by train from central Brighton in about eight minutes.

Accommodation in Hanover and Elm Grove

Rent in Hanover mostly goes on period terraced houses, characterful shared lets of three to five bedrooms, plus the odd converted flat. Set your weekly budget, choose how many bedrooms and bathrooms you need, and use the studio or single-room filter if you want your own space. Given the gradient, the map view earns its keep here for judging the walk to campus or the nearest bus.

Bills, sorted

An old terraced house with five people in it is a lot of bills to chase, so don't. Housr Bills brings energy, water, WiFi, and free Contents Cover into one monthly payment, with split liability so a housemate's missed payment doesn't become everyone's. See how Housr Bills works. If you need that extra person in the house to split your student bills one extra way, then Roomie can match you with a verified student for a spare room.
