Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring my own furniture?

You can bring smaller items to make your space feel like home. Larger furniture isn’t necessary and existing furnishings can’t be removed.

How are roommates matched?

If you’re moving in solo, they’ll help match you with other students based on similar age and gender.

Can I choose my own roommate?

Yes, as long as both of you apply and leases are available for your preferred room type.

Is there a curfew?

Not at all. This is your home and you’re free to come and go as you please. They just ask that all residents respect quiet hours and each other’s space.

Can I have guests?

Yes, short-term day guests are welcome. Out of respect for your neighbours, they ask that you please limit overnight guests to the guidelines in your lease.

When can I move in?

You’ll be able to move in from the official lease start date. They’ll share everything you need beforehand, including what to bring, how to find them and what to expect.

Is parking available?

Unfortunately, they do not offer parking in their buildings. All The property buildings are centrally located in major cities with plenty of public transport options within walking distance.

What happens if something breaks in my apartment?

Their maintenance team is on site and ready to help with issues of all sizes, from light bulbs to leaking air conditioners. You can submit a request online 24/7 and they’ll respond as quickly as possible.

Speak to your reception team for advice on commuting to your university.

It is very near to USYD and UTS. However, UNSW have to board the 392 bus which takes 30 mins to reach Kensington. You can cook in the communal kitchen if needed or order from delivery apps. The space might feel narrower since its a twin sharing room. On the whole, it might not feel pocket friendly in the long term but it is a decent private student accommodation compared to others like Scape and Iglu. Indian residents are very less and more Chinese residents are to be found.
