Private Residential Halls for Students Growing in Popularity

With private residential halls for students growing in popularity, it makes sense for those interested in living in them to shop around to find the halls that best suit them and their needs.

Obviously, a lot of this search will depend on how much a student is willing to spend every week in rent; the rents vary hugely across the UK from £120 pw up to £200 pw.

And these figures do not include the luxurious private halls of residence that often make the national newspapers for their hotel-like offering and incredible levels of luxury; despite the hefty rents they are still a very popular choice.

Indeed, private halls of residence for students are growing in popularity which means developers are looking to build new offerings and sympathetically convert old buildings as well.

Private halls of residence for students in landmark buildings

In many parts of the UK, this means that developers are looking to create private halls of residence for students in landmark buildings in that university city.

Here at studenthalls.co.uk, we report regularly on some of these halls and the latest developments have also caught our attention.

Indeed, developers in Bristol are creating huge and impressive offerings to help meet the needs of students and their basic offering will include things like on-site gyms, around the clock security, a cinema and games rooms.

One particular scheme consists of two-bed apartments, a mix of studios and townhouses.

One reason for this is that students today are more demanding in their accommodation needs and private halls of residence are striving to meet this demand.

Offerings that many private halls for students now deliver

This is reflected in the offerings that many private halls for students now deliver including noodle bars, private dinner party rooms, a Sky Lounge, and nightclub – obviously, not every hall will have these but growing numbers of halls do.

According to real estate firm, Knight Frank, the UK has around 25,000 bedrooms in these purpose-built residential halls and there are another 14,000 bedrooms currently under construction.

This means that the market for private residential halls for students is not only strong and stable but over the next few years, students will have an ever-increasing choice of private halls to base themselves in.

Essentially, private residential halls for students are growing in popularity because of their top-quality offering and locations close to the campus and town centre.
