Coliving in Glebe, Sydney
A larger, community-led coliving home in Glebe: your own furnished bedroom, generous shared kitchen and lounge spaces, and five to ten compatible housemates matched on routine and lifestyle.

Glebe at a Glance
Why Live in Glebe?
Glebe works well for coliving because the housing stock includes the larger 5+ bedroom houses or apartment shares that coliving runs on, and the suburb already has the cafes, gyms and transport (10 minutes to CBD) that a coliving crowd uses daily. The amenity around the home is part of the offer.
Glebe is bookshops, a heritage main street, and a heavy student population from USYD a block away — terraces line every side street, and the foreshore park runs along Blackwattle Bay.
Glebe Point Road is the entire suburb's spine of cafes, bookshops and Thai restaurants; Glebe Markets at Glebe Public School on Saturdays; Jubilee Park has views back to Anzac Bridge.
Street life: Sappho Books and Cafe, Well Connected Cafe, and Iku Wholefoods are all on Glebe Point Road.
On the weekend: Glebe Markets on Saturday, the Bay Run loop around Blackwattle Bay, and Tramsheds for food.
For anyone considering coliving in Sydney, Glebe is often a smart place to start because it combines accessibility, flexibility, and local lifestyle in one suburb.
Why people choose Glebe
Coliving with CDA in Glebe
CDA's coliving homes in Glebe are deliberately community-led: a curated mix of students and young professionals, monthly house events, shared kitchen and lounge spaces designed to be lived in (not just passed through), and a CDA host coordinating compatibility, cleaning and maintenance. Different from a 3-person shared accommodation house — bigger, more social, more amenity, same all-inclusive billing.
