Alexandria at a Glance
Why Live in Alexandria?
Alexandria is convenient for short stays, 12 minutes from Sydney CBD and close to University of Sydney, UTS, UNSW, University of Notre Dame and Sydney Park, Power Station conversion. Whether you're here for a work placement or trialling the area before committing, it keeps you connected from day one.
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.

Trust & Safety
Shared living, without the risk
Short stays are where renting usually gets worst: bonds, minimum terms and furniture you cannot use for six weeks. Every CDA home is managed and every resident screened, without the twelve-month commitment.
Every housemate is vetted
We ID-verify and reference-check every resident before they move in, so you join a home of people who have been screened, not strangers from a listing.
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.
Nothing to set up, nothing to close down
The room is furnished and the bills already run. No connecting utilities for a few weeks, and nothing to disconnect when you leave.
No bond for a short stay
A traditional rental wants four weeks’ bond for a six-week stay. CDA does not — one fortnightly payment with all bills included, and terms that match how long you actually need.
