Student accommodation near the University of Sydney

A short walk to campus, from a home that feels like one

Glebe is one of the closest suburbs to the University of Sydney, which is exactly why generations of students have lived here. From our door at 246 Glebe Point Road, the main campus is roughly a 20 minute walk through leafy streets and Victoria Park, or a few minutes by bus or bike. You can roll out of bed and still make a 9am lecture.

What makes INSULR different is the scale. This is not a tower with hundreds of rooms and a front desk. It is one boutique home for just eight students, looked after by a small, dedicated team. You get the location students want, without the corporate feel or the corporate price.
