r/YorkStJohnUniversity

Hey!

So, I'm moving to York for my Master's degree that starts in September. Since the university is right downtown, the few rentals available that aren't minuscule are 1,200 or more. I'm 40 and have a dog, and honestly I don't want to live like a student in their 20s anymore. I like walking, cycling, but how bad is the weather if I need to ride a bike or e-bike for 10, 15 min, every day? Or if I'll work at a hotel at night? I found some great places, a lot cheaper, available around 15 to 20min driving (I'd be saving money even though insurance is high), but I read that parking in York is non-existent. Maybe if I park and walk a bit, then? Or is there a bus or train from those villages around York?

I honestly dont know what to choose... I need advice from people living there.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a female student to take over my tenancy for a room in a 2-bedroom student house on Barbican Road, York (YO10 5AA).

The room is available immediately, and the tenancy runs until 14 June 2027.

Details:

• £215 per week
• Bills included (gas, electricity, water and broadband, subject to fair usage)
• Living with one female student
• Great location close to the University of York and York city centre

This is a tenancy takeover through Sinclair Properties, so the replacement tenant would need to meet the letting agency’s requirements (including a guarantor if required).

I’m trying to find someone as soon as possible, so if you’re interested or know someone who might be, please send me a message. I’m happy to provide photos and more information. Thanks!
