Live, Work & Play In The City For Less - Here’s How

Keen to work, study, or play in the city? Well we’ve got the goss on some amazing accommodation in the heart of bustling Aussie cities that include yoga classes, cinemas, gyms and lots more.

Whether you’re looking for a place to collab and brainstorm, meet heaps of new mates or have a comfy space to call your own, we’ve got it sussed. Let’s dive in!

Discover yourself in the big smoke

One of the main reasons we leave home is to discover ourselves and our potential; to gain independence, make memories and activate full adult mode. 

Whether you’re looking to cook up a chef’s kiss-worthy feast with your new mates in a communal kitchen or keep to yourself in your plush studio, Scape student accommo helps you live your best city life at an affordable price. 

Urban living in Sydney 

If you’re looking for a special suburb to call home with an abundance of bars, restaurants and art galleries, Redfern in Sydney is the place for you. A hub of creatives, Redfern boasts fantastic transport and grunge vibes, oozing the kind of cool only recently gentrified suburbs can get away with. For those who fancy their chances working and playing in Sydney, it doesn’t get much better. 

If you’re after somewhere ultra convenient with a mall on your doorstep, a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre as well as a short walk to University of Sydney and UTS, then you’ve lucked out with Scape’s Broadway accommo. With Broadway’s Kmart open till midnight for a late night shopping sesh and popular local pub Forest Lodge Hotel hosting their famous trivia every week, we reckon it’s pretty perfect if you’re studying. 

Meandering in Melbourne 

If sunny Syd doesn’t do it for you, just wait ‘til you hear about Melbs. As the cultural capital with gigs galore, European vibes and buzzing bistros, Melbourne is any young adult’s dream. One of the most popular sites to live is Swanston, this student-centred and friendly community vibe is all you need to thrive as a student in Melbourne.

If that doesn’t float your dinghy, try Franklin for a convenient spot near Melbourne Museum, the city centre and all the luxuries you could ever want.

Beaut Brissy

With its amazing landscapes, stunning weather and al fresco living, Australia's third largest city is about as idyllic as it gets. With a choice between Toowong and South Bank, both Brisbane accommodations give us lively, student-oriented vibes. 

Toowong sits smug with the glorious Brissy River a short distance away for those who like to stroll and wander. Along with the benefit of having nature at your doorstep, you’re also minutes from the University of Queensland and plenty of public transport.

If you fancied the South Bank, the cultural heart of Brissy, you’d revel in its beauty,  be spoiled with abundant green space and outdoor living at its finest.

Home from home 

If any of these amazing spots sounds like a bit of you, Scape offers all-inclusive apartments from $359 per week, including 24/7 reception, utilities, fully furnished rooms, a shuttle bus, curated lifestyle and wellness programs and heaps more. 

From Melb to Syd to Brissy, there’s an affordable home from home waiting for you - check out everything you need to know over at Scape.
