Cool student accommodation in Sydney.

Iglu offers contemporary, purpose built student accommodation in Sydney, with something for everyone. Choose from inner city vibes to up and coming suburbs, while you live in one of the greatest cities to study in the world.

Looking for student accommodation in the Sydney CBD? Look no further than the Central Park precinct in Chippendale. Here you can choose from high-rise living at Iglu Central Park, a boutique stay at Iglu Central or a cool but casual student lifestyle at Iglu Broadway. The precinct is surrounded by shopping, eateries, nightlife and transport options. It’s also right across the road from UTS and TAFE, and just a short walk from your student accommodation to the University of Sydney and University of Notre Dame.

If you want student housing near UNSW or the University of Sydney, then Iglu Redfern should be your first stop. As one of Sydney’s most exciting suburbs, Redfern is the epicentre for hot new cafes and restaurants, inspiring galleries and shopping, plus plenty of outdoor parks and community spaces. Jump on a bike to get active and explore your area or head to Redfern Station to connect to the CBD and beyond in minutes.

Now there is a brand new option a little further down the road from Redfern. Forming part of the upcoming Waterloo Metro Quarter, Iglu Waterloo provides easy access to the University of Sydney and UTS: University of Technology.

Studying at Macquarie University? Accommodation is just a couple minutes away at Iglu Chatswood. If you want a fun student community, but don’t want to give up your city lifestyle, Chatswood offers the best of both worlds. The multicultural suburb not only provides world-class shopping and dining, it’s also a 10-minute train ride from your accommodation to MQ Uni, or 20-minutes to the CBD.

If you’re looking for student accommodation with the charm of a suburban neighbourhood but with all the modern conveniences of an inner-city locale, then Iglu Mascot is where you want to be. Explore the diverse local scene with shops, cafes, and parks at your doorstep, or connect to university and beyond from the excellent transport links of Mascot station, just 200 metres from your accommodation.

Not all students want to live right in the thick of it so if a local village lifestyle is more your vibe, accommodation at Iglu Summer Hill might be for you. Located in Sydney’s funky inner-west, it’s a cool alternative for students who are looking for a change from the inner-city but still want the convenience of easy access to university. A studio only property, it’s also a great option for post-graduate students wanting the benefit of shared living areas as an extension of their own private space.

All our Sydney properties offer a range of flexible options within a safe and secure environment. Choose from private studios or share apartments, with just one bill each week to cover off your rent, utilities, internet and all the regular Iglu events. Take advantage of the first-class facilities on offer and make life-long memories when you join the Iglu community.
