Scene Summary
Melbourne's co-living market is growing and dominated by purpose-built student accommodation operators (Scape, Yugo, Journal Student Living) and dedicated co-living brands. Together Co-Living operates a large shared-living property in Preston focused on community; UKO is Australia's leading co-living operator with multiple Melbourne locations offering all-inclusive furnished studios in CBD and inner suburbs; and Haiku (Greystar) operates three premium properties in South Yarra and South Melbourne with design-led, fully furnished apartments aimed at corporate relocations and professionals. Most operators require one-month or longer minimum stays and include utilities, WiFi, furnishings, and social amenities in all-inclusive rent. Pricing typically ranges from AUD 350–550/week for student residences to AUD 550–800+/week for premium co-living.
Good to know

- Haiku offers a '30-day Love It or Leave It' guarantee allowing early lease exit without penalty if you change your mind within the first month.
- Together Co-Living and UKO locations are well-connected to public transport; South Yarra (Haiku properties) is close to Chapel Street shopping and dining.
