Lakeside Birmingham Student Accommodation

In terms of choosing student accommodation in Birmingham, it’s usually a matter of a few practical considerations. How close it is to university, how much you’ll spend per week, and whether the property offers the facilities you need. Lakeside Birmingham is near Aston University and Birmingham City University and has good transit links to the rest of the city.

The facility offers a mixture of en-suite rooms and one-bedroom flats, giving students the option of shared accommodation or more space to themselves. The rent also includes electricity, gas, heating, water, Wi-Fi, broadband and possessions insurance, making it easier to keep track of the weekly expenses.

About Lakeside

Students tend to have different expectations from their accommodation. Some prefer living with other students and sharing a kitchen and living area, while others would rather have a flat of their own. Lakeside offers both arrangements.

En-suite rooms come with a private bathroom and access to shared kitchen and living areas. The one-bedroom flats give students a more independent setup, with their own bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/living space.

There are shared facilities within the property too. Study rooms give residents somewhere to work when they want a break from their bedroom, while the common room provides space to sit with friends or meet other residents. On-site laundry, maintenance and security services also take care of some of the more routine parts of student living.

Is Lakeside Birmingham Right for You?

Lakeside Birmingham makes the most sense for students who want to stay close to their university and keep everyday travel short. Aston University is only 0.13 miles away, while Birmingham City University's City Centre Campus is around 0.15 miles from the property. Students at University College Birmingham, BIMM Birmingham and the University of Birmingham can also reach their campuses using nearby walking routes or public transport.

The choice of en-suite rooms and one-bedroom flats gives students two different approaches to living. En-suite accommodation keeps your bedroom and bathroom private while sharing kitchen and living areas, whereas a one-bedroom flat gives you more independence.

The included bills are another practical point. Electricity, gas, heating, water, Wi-Fi, broadband and contents insurance are covered in the rent, so there are fewer household expenses to arrange separately. Study rooms, a common room, laundry facilities, bike storage and on-site maintenance add further support for day-to-day living.

If your priority is being close to campus rather than spending a large part of your day commuting, Lakeside Student Accommodation is worth considering.
