Shared student houses in Leicester
Student houses in Leicester offer shared accommodation across several houses in the city, mainly in the LE2 area near the universities. These furnished houses typically have six bedrooms, with a shared kitchen and living areas. Students can rent rooms individually. This means you can book a single room on your own, or move in together as a group. Rent includes bills, subject to a weekly utility charge.
How shared houses work
These are individual student houses on residential streets, rather than one large residence. Most sit around the LE2 area, including streets such as Sage Road and Mint Road. Each house has its own bedrooms, with a shared kitchen and living space. Because students rent rooms individually, the houses suit both groups of friends and solo applicants. For example, most houses sit within walking distance or a short bus journey of the University of Leicester and De Montfort University.

What’s included
Rent covers gas, electricity, water and broadband, subject to a weekly utility charge of £20 per week. It is best to check the current utility charge details before you book, so you know exactly what the rent covers. In addition, each house comes furnished, with a shared kitchen and living areas set up for everyday student life.
Is a shared house right for you?
Shared houses suit students who prefer a smaller house-share over a large purpose-built residence, whether they move in with friends or book a single room. They also work well for students who want to live in a residential part of Leicester within reach of both universities. Have you lived in one of these houses?
