Student Accommodation in Mount Pleasant

Student housing in Mount Pleasant, Exeter

Mount Pleasant is a residential pocket north-east of Exeter city centre, tucked between St James, Newtown and the streets running up towards campus. Finding student housing in Mount Pleasant, Exeter on Housr is easy: set your weekly budget, choose your bedrooms and bathrooms, and compare what's free on a map or a list.

It's a quieter alternative to the busier student streets, while still keeping both the university and the centre within a walk.

What's around Mount Pleasant

This is a houses-and-streets area rather than a strip of bars, so the day to day runs on the local shops along Mount Pleasant Road and the parades nearby, with the bigger supermarkets and the markets down in the centre. St James and its station are right next door for the train.

When you want more going on, the city centre, the Quay, and the Gandy Street bars are a short walk or cycle away, so a quiet base doesn't mean a quiet social life. St James Park, home of Exeter City, is close enough to hear on a match day.

Getting around

Mount Pleasant is walkable to most of what students need. The centre is around 15 to 20 minutes on foot, and the nearby St James Park station adds the train into Exeter Central.

Buses run along the main routes into town and up towards the university, and a Stagecoach termrider pass pays off if you use them often. The flatter run into town makes cycling easy, with a climb back if you live higher up.

Universities near Mount Pleasant

The area's draw is its position between campus and city.

The University of Exeter Streatham Campus is a short walk or bus uphill to the north, which keeps Mount Pleasant handy for early lectures. St Luke's Campus, for sport, health and education, is a walk or cycle on the far side of the centre.
