Known for its nearness to Chester University and affordability, the Garden Quarter is a popular place for students to reside.
The area gets its name from its main throughfare, Garden Lane, which is just 0.5 miles from the university’s main campus Exton Park (based on Parkgate Road). With a laid back yet lively atmosphere, the Garden Quarter epitomises student life and has many streets with ideal accommodation.
Many students seek out rooms in Bouverie Street. Here, large Victorian houses with plenty of space stand. Students seeking characterful accommodation in easy reach of eateries and shops often select properties here. While buildings on the street have period charm, interiors are typically renovated to meet today’s standards of student living.
Cheyney Road is predominantly known as a home for students in the city, while Garden Lane puts student residents in the vibrant heart of the Garden Quarter with amenities right on the doorstep. Both locations are close to Chester city centre for nights out and feature more modern accommodation options than Bouverie Street, with newly refurbished flats, house shares and studios to select from.
