Hi everyone, I am transferring my lease for a lovely twin room at Scape Berkeley 1 available from Nov 16th 2024 until July 9th next year (with possible contract extension discounted for Scape tenants). Rent is currently $369pw (higher than the website rate of $359pw but that can be negotiated with Scape manager)(all bills included) and bond is 4 weeks of rent. You will be staying with a male tenant (Master of Finance at Monash, currently working part-time at high-end grocery store and can sometimes hook you up with random expensive snacks). Room includes:
Air conditioning (so you don’t have to suffer in melb summer)
Dishwasher (no other student accom in melb has all AC + dishwasher + oven in one)
Baking oven + microwave oven (separate dw)
Full-size fridge with dedicated freezer (a lot of student accoms here just have hotel-style minibars so this is a big plus)
Short walking distance to Unimelb campus (even shorter if you study at FBE or The Spot building), RMIT campus is just 2 tram stops away. Nearby there’s also Woolworths metro, Aldi and Queen Victoria Market. 2′ walk to tram 19/59 stops and 5′ walk to Swanston St. trams into the city.
Other amenities + facilities include:
Board game room and mini cinema
Short walk to princes park and royal park (excellent for jogging)
Free access to Scape Berkeley 2 gym right outside the building. (really well-equipped imo, machines are always cleaned)
Free access to communal events in other Scape facilities (a lot of free food and drinks)
Feel free to DM or leave a comment if you have any other questions!
