About this property
Some students want accommodation that's close to campus. Others are looking for more privacy, better facilities, or a neighbourhood with everything within walking distance. Stanley Studios Southampton brings those priorities together in one location, giving students a well-equipped place to live in the heart of Portswood, one of Southampton's most popular student areas.
From self-contained studios to shared two-bedroom apartments, Stanley Studios student accommodation caters to different budgets and ways of living. Whether you're moving into university accommodation for the first time or returning for another academic year, the residence combines modern rooms with practical facilities that support both study and everyday life. Its location also keeps universities, supermarkets, cafés and public transport close by, making daily routines much easier.
A good student residence should fit around your routine rather than the other way around. Stanley Studios has been designed with that approach in mind, offering accommodation where students can work, relax and socialise without leaving the building.
Residents can choose between private studios and shared apartments depending on how they prefer to live. Students looking for complete independence will find a range of Stanley studio apartments, while those moving in with a friend can opt for the Stanley Studios 2 bedroom apartments. Every room is furnished and arranged to provide a practical living environment throughout the academic year.
Beyond the accommodation itself, shared facilities encourage students to make the most of life outside their rooms. Study spaces provide somewhere to focus on assignments, while communal lounges and games areas offer opportunities to meet other residents. Fresh Stanley Studios continues to attract students who want comfortable accommodation in a location that keeps university life simple.

The Stanley Studio is very nice. The location is fantastic — right in the heart of the Portswood district, which is a primary residential hub for students. The University of Southampton's Highfield Campus is just a 17-minute walk away, and there are frequent bus links to both Avenue Campus. The reception Alice and Zain are very nice person, they are very helpful and friendly. Knowing there's 24/7 security and a team always ready to help genuinely gives you peace of mind.

This is a very good place to live. It is close to the school and convenient to get there by car. Moreover, the staff of the apartment are very nice and helpful. Especially a staff member named Zain. Even if I found that the electric heater in my room was not working properly and it was very late, he would still help me operate it.
