Twerton is on the outskirts of Bath. There are some students in Twerton, but most residents are families. The local shops are clustered together so it's very convenient and will cater for most of your needs.

Every Thursday an open air market is held in Bath City Football Club car park. Local shops and amenities include a café, take-away, bakery, butcher, chemist, supermarket, video rental store, and newsagent. There is also a computer training centre a community centre, youth centre and a church.

The number 5 bus runs every 10 minutes during the day from Twerton to the city centre, and then every 20 minutes at night.

Twerton isn't too far from Oldfield Park, so you could walk and pick up the 418/18 to get to either University, or the U18 which goes to the University of Bath. This process can be very time consuming and inconvenient adding a lot of travelling time to your day! The area is also serviced by 20A and 20C services which are hourly and go to the city centre and the University of Bath.
