As a current resident of Scape Leicester, I wanted to share my experience here. The living environment has been excellent, and the shared spaces are thoughtfully designed, modern, and always kept clean. Whether it’s the study areas or the common lounges, they’re comfortable and really enhance day-to-day living. I’ve also attached some photos of the communal areas to give a better idea of the atmosphere. Overall, it’s been a great place to live, and I’d definitely recommend it to other students looking for a convenient and well-maintained accommodation option.

I've lived here for a year now. It's a really nice apartment. The receptionists are all so lovely. It's also very close to the school. I've decided to renew my lease for another year 😬 Although the location and rent are like this, it's okay. See you next year!
