Room in a 16 Bedroom Apartment, 11 Liberty, Enmore
Sydney, Australia | AUD 260–615/week
Location and transport
11 Liberty is on Enmore Road, about 4 km southwest of the Sydney CBD. Enmore is a lively inner-west suburb known for its pubs, live music venues, and diverse food scene. The property sits within walking distance of Enmore Park and the Enmore Theatre.
For university commuters, the University of Sydney and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) are roughly 15–20 minutes by bus. The University of New South Wales and Western Sydney University are also accessible via public transport, though the trip is longer – about 30–40 minutes respectively. Newtown Station and Stanmore Station are the closest train stations, each about a 15-minute walk away. Buses on Enmore Road run frequently toward the city.
Who this residence suits
This 16-bedroom apartment is a group-living arrangement. It suits students and young professionals who prioritise:
- Lower weekly rent in a city where the average student property starts at AUD 175 per week (Sydney’s from-price).
- Fully furnished rooms, included WiFi, and on-site laundry facilities.
- A social, shared environment – with 16 people in one apartment, you will regularly interact with flatmates.
- A central inner-west location with good access to city amenities and public transport.
The apartment likely functions as a managed student house, not a purpose-built student accommodation block. This means the building itself may be a converted terrace or older-style unit, and the landlord or operator handles room assignments and common-area maintenance. The tags confirm “independent house” as one unit type and “studio” as another – so there may be a mix of shared rooms and private studios within the same complex or nearby.
Who this residence does not suit
This arrangement is not ideal if:
- You need a private, quiet living space. With 15 other residents, noise and foot traffic are part of day-to-day life.
- Your budget is very tight on the lower end. The minimum weekly price of AUD 260 is 48% higher than Sydney’s overall from-price of AUD 175. That from-price typically applies to shared rooms in larger complexes. At AUD 260, this property is above the cheapest entry point.
- You prefer a short-term stay. The minimum lease is 13 weeks (one semester). That’s standard for purpose-built buildings, but if you need flexibility below three months, this won’t work.
- You want precise control over your flatmates. In a 16-person setup, the operator decides who lives where, and you cannot choose your housemates.
What residents actually say
The property has one verified review on the platform. The resident gave it 3.0 out of 5 and wrote:
“The accommodation worked well for me overall”
That is neutral-to-positive – functional but not enthusiastic. The rating dimensions show that staff, social environment, cleaning, internet, and location all average 4.0/5. Amenities score 3.5/5, and value for money is 4.0/5. These figures suggest the apartment offers decent social opportunities and a reliable internet connection, but the facilities themselves may be basic.
Take the cleaning score of 4.0 with a grain of caution: in a 16-person household, kitchen and bathroom cleanliness depend heavily on the habits of those specific residents. The operator may provide periodic cleaning, but the review does not clarify this.
Price positioning vs Sydney’s from-price
Sydney’s baseline for student housing is AUD 175 per week. That figure comes from the cheapest available room in the city across all property types (likely a shared room in a larger building). At AUD 260 per week for the lowest-priced unit, this property sits about 49% above that floor.
Given the 16-bedroom layout, expect the AUD 260 price to correspond to a room in that shared apartment. The top end of AUD 615 per week probably refers to the studio units listed under the same property. That is a premium price: a private studio in Enmore for AUD 615 per week is high, though not unusual for Sydney’s inner suburbs. Compare it to the city’s from-price of AUD 175 – the studio is 251% more expensive.
All prices are indicative – confirm with the operator before booking.
Room-type guidance
The property lists two unit types: “studio” and “independent_house”. Based on the name “Room in a 16 Bedroom Apartment”, the default offering is a single room inside a larger shared flat. Studios are likely separate units in the same building or managed under the same lease.
- Shared room option (AUD 260–?): Your cheapest entry. You share common spaces with 15 others. Bedrooms are private (the name says “room”, not “bed in a dorm”), so you do not share your sleeping quarters with strangers.
- Studio option (AUD 615): Self-contained with your own kitchen and bathroom. This is the most private choice but carries a very high weekly cost.
For most students, the shared room at the lower end of the price range is the logical option. The studio is better suited to PhD candidates or postgraduate students who need quiet and have the budget.
Booking timing
The property does not show a specific available-from date. For a 2026 start (semester 1: February; semester 2: July), aim to book:
- For Semester 1, 2026: Apply between November 2025 and January 2026. The earlier you apply, the more likely you secure your preferred room type.
- For Semester 2, 2026: Apply between April and June 2026.
Because of the 13-week minimum lease, you can also apply mid-semester if you only need a few months. But if you want certainty for a specific start date, booking 2–4 months in advance is advisable.
Practical considerations
- WiFi and furniture are included. This means you can move in with only personal belongings.
- Laundry is on-site but shared. In a 16-person household, washing machine availability may be limited during peak times (evenings and weekends).
- The deposit amount is not listed. Ask the operator directly about this before signing.
- The rating dimensions lack a “safety” score. The property is in Enmore, a standard Sydney inner-west area, but in a large share house, security depends on the operator’s lock system and your housemates.
FAQ
H3: What is the minimum lease period?
The minimum lease is 13 weeks (about one semester). You cannot book fewer than 13 weeks. If you need a shorter stay, look for a different property. This is indicated as a one-semester commitment – confirm early termination options with the operator.
H3: Are utilities included in the weekly price?
The listing does not explicitly state utility inclusion beyond WiFi. The operator may charge separately for electricity, gas, and water. In many Sydney student houses, utilities are either included in the rent or billed based on usage. Ask the operator for a full breakdown before signing.
H3: Can I choose which room I get in the 16-bedroom apartment?
Typically, the operator assigns rooms based on availability. You can request a specific floor or location (e.g., away from common areas), but it is not guaranteed. The earlier you apply, the more likely you are to influence your placement.
