Oldfield Park
Oldfield Park is a diverse community with many students, young professionals, families and older people.
Moorland Road is at the heart of Oldfield Park and there are a range of amenities on and around it including pubs, cafes, a post office, banks, letting agents, charity shops, take-aways, supermarkets, butchers, fruit & vegetable shops, GP surgeries and pharmacies.There are also community centres and Churches in the area as well as a number of green open spaces for those hot lazy summer days!
Oldfield Park has a wide range of housing, from terraced housing through to semi-detached houses and private properties. The range of student accommodation is diverse, including flats, houses and maisonettes. Be careful about renting near the train line - it can be very noisy!

Student comment:
"Oldfield Park is a great place to live as a student, as even on the edges you still have the best transport links in Bath. In fact, it’s probably easier to get a bus in the morning from around Coronation Avenue straight to campus than it is from the city centre, and the rest of the time you have convenient local shops, a ten to twenty minute walk to the heart of Bath and plenty of houses to choose from".
