Rent in Mastrick, Aberdeen

Mastrick is a large residential area in north-west Aberdeen, developed primarily as a council housing estate in the 1950s and 1960s. While it has a more utilitarian character than Aberdeen's granite neighbourhoods, Mastrick offers some of the city's most affordable rental properties and has good transport connections to the City Centre and business parks. Housing is predominantly 1950s–1960s local authority-built houses and flats, including semi-detached houses, terraces, and low-rise flats. Many have been modernised and some transferred to housing association ownership. Private rental stock is also available at very competitive rents: one-bed flats from £375–£500, two-beds from £500–£650, and three-bed houses from £650–£850. Mastrick offers the most affordable housing in Aberdeen's north-west quadrant. Transport is good: frequent bus services run along Provost Rust Drive and Greenfern Road to the City Centre (15–20 minutes). The area has good road access via Anderson Drive and the Lang Stracht for commuting to Dyce, the airport, and western business parks. Ample street parking is available — a contrast to the city centre. Amenities include local shops on Mastrick Drive, the Mastrick Community Centre, and several parks and green spaces. The nearby Northfield and Heathryfold areas provide additional retail. For larger shopping, Berryden Retail Park and the City Centre are easily accessible by bus. Hazlehead Park, one of Aberdeen's largest parks, is within walking distance to the south. Mastrick suits: budget-conscious renters, families needing affordable larger properties, key workers, and DSS tenants. The area has a strong community spirit and is more affordable than most Aberdeen neighbourhoods while still offering reasonable transport links. Schools include Forehill Primary School and Bramble Brae School, with secondary pupils attending Northfield Academy.
