Why choose co-living?

For many young people, the struggle to find affordable accommodation means that renting is the only realistic option. But that doesn’t have to mean compromising on convenience, location or design. Here’s why co-living at Iglu Summer Hill could be exactly what you’re looking for.

Co-living: Independent collaboration

A cool new way to live and work, co-living combines the best of both worlds. In a time where shared rides and shared office space are very much the norm, co-living is a natural progression of that modern philosophy. It’s about collaborative, sustainable living with other like-minded individuals – and the natural benefits are enormous. The building is specifically designed to encourage independent living alongside the benefits that a built-in community can bring. You’ll enjoy complete privacy in your own studio apartment as well as access to multiple communal living areas. It’s about living life your way.

Great location

Co-living is definitely not about compromise, and at Iglu we understand the importance of location and convenience. Perfectly situated in Sydney’s creative Inner West, Summer Hill is a village-style suburb with shops, cafés and entertainment available on tap. The streets are lined with heritage housing which adds character and individuality to the local streetscape, and there are several parklands throughout the area just perfect for soaking up the summer sun. Head to nearby Ashfield for access to the larger retail outlets and enjoy the eclectic buzz of nearby Leichardt just a short walk away. With trains and buses only minutes from your door, you’ll be wandering through the city centre in less than half an hour.

High quality design

Iglu Summer Hill residents will benefit from cleverly designed studio apartments, where no detail has been forgotten. From the HD TV to the built-in storage, each apartment is maximised for space and comfort and partnered with a range of innovative communal spaces to support the new ways we live and work. Whether you’re at work or play, it’s the perfect combination of complete privacy when you need it, and plenty of company when you don’t. The rules are entirely yours to be broken.

Built-in community

As human beings we are naturally social creatures. While the powers of technology keep us virtually connected, it’s easy to find ourselves more and more isolated from real life interactions. This is where co-living makes an important difference. Instead of living life through a screen, Iglu Summer Hill offers a ready-made community right on your doorstep. With regular social events organised by an appointed resident, it’s the perfect chance to meet new friends in a natural space, or simply share thoughts over a coffee and a chat. Use the opportunity to widen your network or enjoy the escape of a supportive environment. You’ll have a built-in melting pot of ideas and philosophies right outside your door and you can dip in or out as you choose. It’s life the way you want it.

No hidden surprises

We want to take the stress out of renting, and that’s why we cover everything off with one bill. There’s no need to worry about setting up contracts or sharing costs as water and electricity are all included, along with access to unlimited wi-fi. All apartments are provided fully furnished, with every little detail delivered as promised. Right from living and sleeping through to cooking and chilling, Iglu Summer Hill gives you complete freedom to focus on you. All you need is your bags and a toothbrush, and you’re good to go.

Flexible living

As we live and work more flexibly, Iglu Summer Hill is purpose-built to that need. We understand that modern living requires adaptability and accommodation, so alongside our standard 6- and 12-month leases we also offer variations where required. Whether you’re working from home or have a flexible business model, we have the ideal space to suit your needs. With multiple communal areas to differentiate your routine, there’s interaction available when you need it, and privacy when you don’t.

Safety and security

Feeling safe and secure in your own home is an important feature of living independently, and particularly reassuring if this is the first time renting away from home. Iglu Summer Hill features CCTV and secure entry across multiple spaces including the entrance and lifts as well as your apartment. Additionally, there is 24/7 onsite security support to ensure residents feel supported at all times.
