Camstead’s centro scheme continues to see unprecedented demand for its new affordable student accommodation.
The scheme has been a popular choice for investors, students and parents with over 70% sold or reserved in the initial launch phase.
Camstead’s sales staff are now gearing up for another flurry of activity as it releases more studio and one bedroom apartments. For further information contact or visit the new centro city centre sales office in Purbeck Road -adjacent to the future development.

About centro
It is the first and, currently, the only privately-owned scheme of student apartments in Cambridge. And with prices starting at £107,000, this is a great opportunity because, although all centro residents must be students, the apartments can be owned by anyone with an eye for a good investment.
“We have already seen a lot of interest from residential investors and individuals with buy-to-let in mind as centro is very affordable for private investors, and, of course, Cambridge has a fantastic track record as a property investment location. Interest in Cambridge was also boosted by Channel 4’s Kirstie and Phil programme in April this year when it named Cambridge as the current No.2 investment hotspot nationally, ” explains Moira Scott, Camstead’s Sales & Marketing Manager.
centro, a development of 151 studio and one bedroom apartments, will be built on Purbeck Road, next to the prestigious Belvedere development, across the road from Cambridge Leisure and five minutes cycle ride from the railway station. In just ten minutes, residents will be able to cycle or take a bus into the historic city centre for lectures, supervisions or shopping. When relaxation becomes the priority, the University’s beautiful and peaceful Botanic Gardens are also just a few minutes walk or ride away.
And all this designed and built to the usual high standards and attention to detail of Camstead Homes. Each apartment will have a high quality kitchen and shower room – some featuring their own private roof terrace. There will also be on-site laundry facilities and a communal lounge with plasma screen TV.
“Although centro will be occupied solely by students, for this development we have been able to apply quite a flexible definition of ‘student’ - anyone studying full or part-time for a minimum of 12 hours per week at any Cambridge educational institution. So this includes student nurses and doctors, mature students and people working and studying at the same time,” says Moira
For parents losing their children to college full-time, one of the key worries is safety and security. This is where centro can reduce those sleepless nights. The development will have a gated entrance, swipe card entry system and a full time porter on site who will work from a Porters’ Lodge through which all visitors will have to pass. There will be CCTV in communal and outside areas for extra peace of mind for parents and investors.
