If you're searching for student housing in Lincoln, chances are you've come across names like "WESP" or "West End Student Properties." But what exactly makes the West End so special for students at the University of Lincoln or Bishop Grosseteste University? Here's why this historic, vibrant part of the city is one of the most sought-after areas for student digs.
The West End is a popular residential area situated just a short walk from the University of Lincoln campus, Brayford Wharf, and the city centre. It’s known for its charming terraced houses, friendly community vibe, and unbeatable location.
If you're considering West End student properties, these are the streets to know:
West Parade – One of the main arteries of the area, lined with classic student homes and close to cafes and local shops.
Alexandra Terrace – Quiet and leafy, yet right in the heart of student territory.
Cecil Street – A student favourite thanks to its quiet location and proximity to the university.
Victoria Street – Popular for its mix of classic houses and strong student presence.
Gordon Street & Moor Street – Great options for affordable, spacious properties close to campus.
Derwent Street – Perfect for those who want easy access to both the city and the university.
Carholme Road – A key route into the city with quick access to Sainsbury’s, takeaways, and bus links.
Palmer Street, Rudgard Lane & Rosemary Lane – Tucked-away options offering a quieter setting without compromising on location.
Short Walk to Campus: Most houses are 5–15 minutes from the University of Lincoln, so no need to worry about early buses.
Close to the Action: You’ll be near the city’s best nightlife, restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets.
Strong Community Feel: With students living door-to-door, it’s easy to make friends and feel at home.
Great Value: Despite its central location, rent in the West End can be more affordable than in newer developments.
Purpose-built flats may offer shiny surfaces, but the West End offers space, character, and a real sense of living in Lincoln. With traditional houses, you get your own front door, more storage, back gardens, and the option to live with your chosen housemates.
Plus, bills-included properties in the West End (like those from Student Housing Lincoln) offer all the comfort and convenience without the rigid contracts and small rooms.
WESP—West End Student Properties—is a well-known name, but they’re not your only option. Many trusted student lettings agencies, including Student Housing, offer properties across the West End, often with:
All bills included
Flexible viewing options
Modern interiors
24/7 maintenance support
We recommend comparing your options and booking early—West End student housing goes fast!
The West End of Lincoln isn’t just one of the best areas to live as a student—it is the student hub of the city. If you want walkable access to uni, nightlife, shops and housemates that become lifelong friends, West End student properties are the way to go.
