31.5. The city's housing stock is diverse, with a mix of historic properties, newer developments, and purpose-built student accommodation. A significant factor influencing the housing market is the substantial student population, which has led to a large number of purpose-built student accommodation, particularly in areas close to the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Norwich University of the Arts.
