Rent in Stoneywood, Aberdeen

Stoneywood is a quiet suburban village on Aberdeen's northern fringe, historically centred on the Stoneywood paper mill (now closed). The area has retained a distinct village identity despite being absorbed into greater Aberdeen, and offers a peaceful residential setting with quick access to the Dyce business parks and the city centre. Housing is a mix of older granite cottages in the original village, 1960s–1980s suburban houses, and some newer developments. The area offers good space for families at moderate rents: one-bed flats from £400–£550, two-beds from £550–£750, and three-bed houses from £700–£950. Properties tend to have gardens and off-street parking, uncommon in more central areas. Transport is primarily car-based, with the A96 running nearby providing access to Dyce (5 minutes), the airport, and the City Centre (15–20 minutes). Bus services run along the main road. The Dyce railway station is approximately 10 minutes' drive. The AWPR bypass is easily accessible for travel across the wider Aberdeen area. Amenities are modest in the immediate area — a local shop and community facilities. Dyce provides the nearest substantial retail options, and the City Centre is a short bus ride away. The River Don runs through the area, providing pleasant riverside walks, and the surrounding countryside offers rural feel remarkably close to the city. Stoneywood suits: families wanting a quiet village atmosphere with affordable housing, commuters working at Dyce or the airport, and anyone who values space and tranquillity over urban convenience. The area is particularly popular with those who work in the energy sector and want to avoid a long commute. Stoneywood School serves primary pupils, with secondary education at Dyce Academy or Bankhead Academy.
