Meadow Court Edinburgh

For students searching for well-located, affordable, and community-oriented student housing in Edinburgh, Meadow Court is one of the Scottish capital's most enduringly popular and well-regarded options. Managed by CRM students and located at 13 Sciennes, Edinburgh, Meadow Court sits in one of Edinburgh's most desirable student residential areas, directly next to The Meadows, one of the city's most beloved public parks, and a short walk from the University of Edinburgh's Central and Kings Buildings campuses.

With 148 bedrooms across shared flats and townhouses, Meadow Court provides a genuine community feel, all-inclusive bills, and a location that places students right at the heart of Edinburgh's most vibrant student neighborhood.

What Makes Meadow Court Edinburgh Stand Out?

Meadow Court's defining advantage is its location. Sitting in Sciennes, it is just a 5-minute walk from George Square, the heart of the University of Edinburgh's central area, and within a 9–12 minute walk of the main university campus. The Meadows public park is, quite literally, next door. This combination of academic proximity, green space access, and proximity to Potterrow's bars, restaurants, and shops makes Meadow Court one of the most holistically well-positioned student accommodations in Edinburgh.
