Student Accommodation in Leamington Spa Town Centre
It's no surprise that many University of Warwick students choose to live in the heart of picturesque Leamington Spa. There's a wide range of student accommodation available here: while the Town Centre has an especially wide range of 4-7 bed student houses, you'll also find some 1-bed flats and houses for groups of 7+. However, they all share one thing in common: right on their doorstep is a beautiful Town Centre that oozes with charm and activities.
As the Leamington area with the most student properties available, the Town Centre dominates student demand.

Similar to the overall trend for Leamington Spa, searches for student accommodation in the Town Centre typically peak in mid-late November.
