If you’re looking for student HMOs or shared housing in Liverpool, choosing the right area is just as important as choosing the right property. After exploring the popular Wavertree L15 area in our last blog, this week we’re turning our attention to Kensington Fields and the wider Kensington area (L6 & L7).
With its close proximity to Liverpool city centre, strong local amenities, and the opportunity to rent larger properties for less money, Kensington has become a go-to location for students, house sharers, and young professionals alike.
Kensington Fields’ Convenient Location and Strong Transport Links
One of the biggest draws of Kensington Fields is how close it is to Liverpool city centre and key university buildings. The area is less than a 20-minute walk to both the University of Liverpool campus and the Liverpool John Moores Student Life building, making it ideal for students who want to be close to lectures and campus facilities. Bold Street, Liverpool’s vibrant shopping and dining hub, is also under 30 minutes on foot, so enjoying the city’s cafés, shops, and nightlife is easy.
Frequent bus routes also connect the wider Kensington area to Lime Street, Liverpool One, and other spots around the city, meaning commuting, travelling, or heading into the centre is quick and reliable. For students and young renters, this combination of walkable proximity, excellent transport links, and a quieter residential environment makes Kensington a practical and highly desirable location.
At Address Properties we have a selection of great properties available in L6 and L7, that will fit a range of different group sizes and budgets.
Local Shops, High Street Convenience, and Everyday Essentials
Kensington Fields benefits from a friendly, close-knit community of local residents, giving the area a welcoming and homely vibe. Along the main high street, you’ll find a range of shops and takeaways, as well as a large Lidl supermarket for all your essential shopping needs.
This makes daily life incredibly convenient, whether it’s picking up groceries, grabbing a quick bite, or running errands, you don’t have to venture into the city centre if you don’t want to. For students and young renters, this combination of community spirit and practical amenities creates a comfortable and self-sufficient place to call home.
Affordable Housing and Larger Homes
Kensington Fields and the wider Kensington area is particularly appealing for tenants looking for larger student houses and HMOs without the higher costs of Liverpool city-centre or Smithdown Road properties. Homes here often offer more space for less money, making them ideal for groups of house sharers or students who want a bigger, more comfortable home.
At the same time, the short distance to Liverpool city centre means you can still enjoy the convenience of city living, with shops, nightlife, and university facilities all within easy reach, without paying the premium prices or dealing with the busyness of more central areas.
