Student Accommodation in Earlsdon

Student housing in Earlsdon

Earlsdon sits about a mile southwest of Coventry city centre, close enough to walk in on a good day and quick enough to bus in on a bad one. It's one of the more settled patches of student housing in Earlsdon, with a proper village high street rather than a strip of takeaways, and a mix of Victorian terraces and smaller blocks that suits sharers and solo tenants alike. If you want a base that still feels like a neighbourhood, this is where a lot of Coventry University and Warwick students end up.

Housr's filters do the legwork. Set your weekly budget, pick bedroom and bathroom counts, and flick between studios, single rooms, and shared houses without trawling ten different listing sites. For a wider view of the city, the Coventry student accommodation hub covers every area, not just this one.

What's around Earlsdon

Earlsdon Street is the spine of the area, and it earns the word "high street". Sage does the coffee run most students end up relying on, while Da Vinci Ristorante and Allys Balti House cover date night and Friday takeaway respectively. For a pint, The Royal Oak and City Arms are the two everyone knows by name. There's a Co-op right on Earlsdon Street for the essentials, plus a Tesco Express (locally, "Earlsdon Express") on Albany Road for the bigger shop, a launderette, a couple of pharmacies, and enough banks that you'll never need to trek into town for cash admin.

Green space is close by too. Hearsall Common sits inside Earlsdon itself, a stretch of open grass and woodland good for a study break or a Sunday kickabout, and War Memorial Park borders the area, home to the summer Godiva Festival. Look for the clock at the bottom of the high street; it's a leftover from Earlsdon's watchmaking days and the easiest landmark to give someone directions by.

Getting around

Bus route 51 (Coventry - Chapelfields) runs straight through Earlsdon via Hearsall Common on its way into the city centre, and it's the one most residents use for a quick hop into town. Route 11 (Coventry - Leamington Spa) also serves Earlsdon and continues out via the University of Warwick and Kenilworth, so you don't need to change buses to get onto campus. If you'd rather cycle, Coventry's Route 10 cycle path runs through Earlsdon towards Warwick and the city centre, and it's flat enough that plenty of students make it their main way to get to lectures.

Universities near Earlsdon

Student housing in Earlsdon works for either of Coventry's main universities, which is a big part of why the area holds onto students year after year. Coventry University's campus sits right in the city centre, roughly a mile from Earlsdon, which puts it within an easy bus ride or a brisk walk depending on your morning. Browse the wider Coventry University page for accommodation options closer to campus itself.

University of Warwick is further out, around three miles away, but the 11 bus runs directly between Earlsdon and the University Interchange with services roughly every half hour, and there's no shortage of students who make Earlsdon work as a base for Warwick as much as for Coventry Uni.

Accommodation in Earlsdon

Student accommodation in Earlsdon covers a decent spread: shared houses in the streets off Earlsdon Street, en-suite rooms in the newer developments, and the odd studio for students who'd rather not share a kitchen. Use Housr's filters to sort by weekly price, bedroom and bathroom count, or whether you want a single room or a self-contained studio, and switch between list, tile, and interactive map views to see exactly what's walkable from the high street.
