Student accommodation near Edinburgh Napier University

There’s so much choice when it comes to choosing a place to live while studying at Edinburgh Napier. At UniHomes we’re committed to taking away the stress and panic that comes with house hunting, which is why we’ve handily brought all of our partner properties together on one singular website for easy browsing.

Student life near Edinburgh Napier University

Merchiston campus itself is surrounded by the popular student areas of Marchmont and Bruntsfield, both of which are small, idyllic pockets of Edinburgh with a real community feel.

If you’re after Edinburgh Napier accommodation in either of these suburbs, you can expect to spend your mornings brunching in cafes and bakeries like the ever-popular The Birchwood, before whiling away the evening hours in one (or more!) of the many restaurants, pubs and bars that are scattered around.

Fountainbridge is also a popular spot for Edinburgh Napier student accommodation. The birthplace of Sean Connery, this up-and-coming area of Edinburgh has cemented itself as a film lover’s heaven, and every year independent cinemas and theatres here play host to segments of the Edinburgh International Film Festival.

All of these suburbs are fairly close to Edinburgh’s city centre (Edinburgh Napier’s Merchiston campus is only a 15 minute bus ride away from Edinburgh Waverley station) but if you fancy living somewhere even more central then check out the New Town.

Edinburgh New Town accommodation is particularly unique in the fact that all of New Town is a designated UNESCO world heritage site, so living here means that you’ll literally be sleeping in one of the most culturally significant places on the planet.

Aside from its historical importance, Edinburgh New Town also offers unlimited shopping experiences via high-street brands and the St James Quarter shopping centre. Restaurants, bars and speakeasies are aplenty as well, so you’ll never be lost for somewhere to grab a drink or a nibble. There’s even a chihuahua café round the corner from Scott Monument on Frederick Street—talk about a memorable dining experience.
