About this data
This map shows the average monthly cost per bedroom across six areas of St Andrews, based on 347 rental listings tracked by StAgents during the 2026 letting season (February to June 2026). Listings were drawn from 14 letting agents and property platforms and deduplicated where the same property appeared across multiple sources.
Some Key Takeaways
The most striking, but probably unsurprising finding is the “Central premium”. Properties on and around Market Street, North Street and South Street cost an average of £1,242 per bedroom per month — around 50% more than equivalent bedroom space in the South Inner zone (£889) or East (£827). For a typical three-bedroom flat, that premium adds up to over £1,000 extra per month compared to living a 10-minute walk away.
The West Inner area — commands a notable mid-tier premium at £950 per bedroom, reflecting its walkability to the university.
The most affordable areas are consistently to the south and east of the town centre. both offer bedroom costs in the £800s, and also have the largest share of available bedrooms.
A note on sample sizes
West Inner had only 17 listings in this dataset, so its average should be treated with a little caution as we’d prefer at least 20 listings in each area to give a reliable average.
