Living at Cambridge Riverside

Living at Cambridge Riverside is a unique and delightful experience. Nestled in the heart of this historic city, everything you need—from facilities and entertainment to rich cultural experiences—is right here.

Our location offers more than just convenience. You'll love the wonderful outdoor spaces surrounding us, with Midsummer Common right next door and Stourbridge Common just a short stroll away. The scenic River Cam is another highlight, perfect for watching wildlife and rowers. In the summer, our delightful neighbours – the red poll cows on Midsummer Common – add a special charm to our community.

Beyond our beautiful surroundings, our development offers high-quality apartments and townhouses, underground car parking, a gym and a concierge service.

But what truly sets us apart is our vibrant community. Our Residents’ Association organises activities throughout the year, fostering a strong sense of camaraderie among residents.

Our development

There are 195 apartments, ten townhouses and a commercial unit making up the Cambridge Riverside community. Our street and each of our apartment blocks is named after a famous person associated with the university.
