Student Accommodation in Stokes Croft

Student housing in Stokes Croft

Stokes Croft is the most painted square mile in Bristol, and living here puts you in the middle of it. Finding a room shouldn't take longer than the walk to your nearest cafe, so Housr lets you filter student housing in Stokes Croft by weekly price, bedrooms and bathrooms, then flick between list, tile and map views and book a viewing with one form.

This is the area for students who want character over quiet. It sits just north of the centre on the A38, a short walk from the University of Bristol, with Gloucester Road and Montpelier on either side.

What's around Stokes Croft

The street art is the headline. Banksy's Mild Mild West, painted in 1998 at the Jamaica Street junction, still looks down over the whole strip, and the walls around it change every few weeks. The Canteen sits right beneath it for cheap food, local beer and free live music most nights.

For eating and coffee, Cafe Kino does proper vegan plates and Caribbean Croft has been serving the area for years. The People's Republic of Stokes Croft shop sums up the spirit of the place, and the independent bars along the strip mean you rarely need to head into town for a night out.

Getting around

You're a 10 to 15-minute walk from the centre, so most days you won't need a bus at all. When you do, Stokes Croft and the top of Gloucester Road are served by First Bus routes including the 70, 71, 72, 73 and 75, which run south into the centre and north towards Filton and UWE. Temple Meads is a 10-minute bus ride from the train home.

Universities near Stokes Croft

The University of Bristol's main precinct is roughly a 15-minute walk uphill, which is why so many of its students settle around here. UWE's Frenchay Campus is north of the city and best reached by bus along the A38 corridor. See student housing near the University of Bristol or what living near UWE Bristol involves.

Bills, sorted

Shared houses and split bills are usually where housemate group chats go to die. Housr Bills puts energy, water and WiFi into one monthly payment with free Contents Cover, and liability is split so a missed payment from one person doesn't land on everyone else. See how Housr Bills works.
