Riverview, Staines-upon-Thames — apartments for independent student living
Riverview, Staines-upon-Thames is a residential apartment development at Elmsleigh Road, managed by VervLife. Unlike most listings on Hallbookers, Riverview is a build-to-rent development rather than purpose-built student accommodation. It offers one and two-bedroom apartments with a private balcony, an open-plan kitchen and living area, and an in-unit washing machine. Some two-bedroom apartments include an en-suite to the primary bedroom. Bills are not included as standard, and residents manage their own utilities. The building is pet-friendly.

Is Riverview right for you?
Riverview suits postgraduate, mature or final-year students who want more space and independence than a typical student hall, with the added benefit of a direct train connection to central London. Two students sharing a two-bedroom apartment can split the cost while each having a private bedroom. The co-working spaces, resident lounge and podium garden also make it a well-equipped choice for students who prefer apartment-style living. Have you lived here?
