Details come from the University of Salford’s new-student accommodation page and CLV’s Peel Park Quarter page, checked on 19 October 2026. The university page does not list prices, so confirm all figures with CLV or the provider before you pay.

How to book
You book Peel Park Quarter through the CLV website. The university then allocates an individual room, and you can ask for an accessible or modified room or a single-sex flat. Single-sex flat requests are not guaranteed, and you cannot choose your flatmates, so friends are not guaranteed to live together. Cancellations can free up rooms, so keep checking the CLV site if you are looking close to September. For other residences, book directly with the provider. Questions go to enquiries@salford.ac.uk. The page does not mention a rent guarantee, so do not assume a place.
If you struggle to find a guarantor or need a deposit delayed, the university asks you to contact askUS at askus@salford.ac.uk. Care-experienced or estranged students may be eligible for a Unite Scholarship.
Renting privately: the university’s advice
- Check your tenancy agreement with the Students’ Union or Citizens Advice before signing.
- Ask for a video viewing if you cannot visit in person.
- Choose somewhere within easy commuting distance of Peel Park campus (postcode M5 4WT).
- Do not make large upfront rent payments without a signed tenancy agreement.
I have not listed individual private blocks or ranked neighbourhoods, because I could not verify prices, availability or area details against reliable sources.
