Convenience at your doorstep
Student Living in Kensington
Swift Walk is a brand new Build-to-Rent community in the heart of inner-city Kensington, where thoughtful design, welcoming shared spaces and everyday convenience come together.
It offers a range of studio, one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, with the flexibility to suit however residents live, whether that's studying, working or sharing with friends.
Only a short walk to train stations; Kensington Station and Macaulay Station, both just two stops from the CBD, Swift Walk makes student living easier. There are also direct buses to major universities and hospital precincts, plus the Capital City Trail nearby for an easy ride to class.
Comfortable student life in Melbourne
Each apartment is designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living. Modern inclusions such as 100% electric appliances, efficient heating and cooling, keyless electronic access and video intercoms help make everyday life easier.
Study doesn't have to happen at the kitchen bench, either. Residents have access to comfortable co-working areas that make studying AT home easier, a fully equipped gym, multipurpose communal rooms and landscaped rooftop spaces to relax or catch up with friends.
On the ground floor, an IGA supermarket and a selection of local shops add even more convenience to the daily routine, alongside GoGet car share on-site. Residents can also submit maintenance requests simply through the resident app.
With excellent access to public transport, leafy neighbourhood streets, cafés, parks and bike paths, Swift Walk offers a connected inner-city lifestyle with everything close by.
