Alexandria at a Glance
Why Live in Alexandria?
Alexandria works well for professionals, 12 minutes to Sydney CBD, strong transport links in the City of Sydney area, and Sydney Park, Power Station conversion for downtime. It's a base that keeps your commute short and your evenings yours.
Alexandria is the former industrial heart of inner Sydney — warehouses now hold breweries, design showrooms and large format cafes; quiet residential pockets sit between.
The Grounds of Alexandria sets the tone for the suburb's food scene; Bourke Road and McEvoy Street carry most of the activity; Erskineville and Green Square stations both serve the area.
Street life: The Grounds for brunch, Three Williams and Bread & Circus for coffee, Young Henrys brewery on Wilson Street for evenings.
On the weekend: Sydney Park (the old brickworks) and the Alexandria Park sports fields are both close by.
For anyone considering coliving in Sydney, Alexandria is often a smart place to start because it combines accessibility, flexibility, and local lifestyle in one suburb.

| Property quality | Can vary significantly | Professionally managed |
| Cleaning | Depends on housemates | Regular cleaning |
| Move-in process | Can be complicated | Simpler, faster |

Trust & Safety
Shared living, without the risk
Taking a room sight-unseen is a real risk when a bad housemate can cost you sleep before a workday. Every CDA home and resident is screened and managed, so the house works around your schedule rather than against it.
Housemates on working schedules
We ID-verify and reference-check every resident, and match on lifestyle — so the people you share with keep hours compatible with early starts and video calls, not a rotating cast from a listing site.
Professionally managed homes
CDA manages each property directly, with coordinated cleaning of shared spaces and clear house standards, so the home stays in good shape long after you move in.
Repairs never become your evening
Lodge a ticket and our team handles it. No chasing a landlord between meetings or negotiating repair costs with housemates on a group chat.
Terms that flex with contracts
One fortnightly payment with all bills included and no traditional bond. Secondments, project work and interstate roles do not need a 12-month lease to accommodate them.
