Whether you’re just starting university or returning for postgraduate study, one thing is true - where you live shapes how you live. The Keel Houses, set on Lower Gilmore Place by the peaceful Union Canal, offers more than modern student accommodation in Edinburgh. It’s where your academic ambitions, personal freedom, and social life can all feel at home.
From the moment you move in, you’ll be part of a friendly and close-knit community, set to grow to around 150 residents when Phase 2 opens in Summer 2026. This creates the perfect balance — a sociable atmosphere with plenty of opportunities to make real connections, while still offering space to feel at home.
Whether it's gathering in the communal lounge, sharing a laugh in the games room, watching something new in the cinema lounge, or hosting a dinner in the private dining room, there’s always something happening, and always someone to share it with. You might even pick up a game of Mah Jong, our favourite way to unwind and connect!
We are also pleased to announce that, in addition to our already fabulous array of on-site amenities, we will be adding a brand new library, cinema room, gym, and kitchen area in July 2026.
Each studio apartment is fully furnished, with your own bathroom, kitchen, and study area—giving you independence without isolation. Many rooms offer views over the canal or Edinburgh Castle, and with Wi-Fi and all bills included, you can focus on what matters without worrying about the small stuff.
Of course, academic success is key. That’s why The Keel Houses includes dedicated quiet study areas and a professional-style meeting room - perfect for revision, group work, or focused postgrad research.
When you need a change of scene, step outside into the private courtyard, a peaceful, leafy spot to read, chat, or clear your head between study sessions.
Edinburgh’s best is right on your doorstep. Just around the corner are local favourites like The Blackbird, Harajuku Kitchen, and The Golf Tavern. Love theatre? The historic King’s Theatre is a short walk away, with performances running year-round. For something different, Escape Reality (a two-minute walk away) offers high-energy team games to test your logic and teamwork.
If green space is your thing, Bruntsfield Links and The Meadows offer wide open skies, quiet paths, and the perfect backdrop for a walk, jog, or moment of calm.
And getting around? It’s easy. Haymarket Station is just 10 minutes on foot, connecting you across the city and beyond. Flying in from abroad? Edinburgh Airport is only 20 minutes away by car, making The Keel Houses a smart choice for international students too.
