The University of Melbourne is particularly convenient from this part of North Melbourne, while the other institutions can be reached using Melbourne’s public transport network.
You’ll have several ways to get around from Student Living on Cobden. Tram stops including Peel St/Victoria St #8 and Victoria St/Peel St #10 are within walking distance, so it's easy to get around the city by tram.
You can catch trains too at North Melbourne Station. From Flagstaff Station or Melbourne Central Station you are able to make further connections to the CBD and other parts of Melbourne.
For buses, stops such as Queen Victoria Market/Franklin St are also within reach.
This mix of tram, train and bus services means you can usually leave the car at home and rely on public transport for university, work and weekend plans.
You won’t have to go far for groceries or a quick meal. IGA Local Grocer North Melbourne and Woolworths Arden Gardens are useful for your regular shopping, while Coles Central Melbourne and Woolworths Melbourne Central give you more options closer to the CBD.
When you don’t feel like cooking, North Melbourne has plenty of places to eat. Yeonga, Manzé, Bar Taralli, Errol’s Cafe and Bistro de Paris are some of the local options worth checking out.

When you’ve had enough of assignments, there are plenty of ways to get out of your room and do something different.
Queen Victoria Market is a handy place for fresh produce, food and a browse through the stalls. If you want a larger shopping trip, Melbourne Central, Emporium Melbourne and QV Melbourne are all accessible from the area.
For some fresh air, Flagstaff Gardens, Royal Park and Carlton Gardens give you space to walk, sit outside or meet friends.
You can also switch up your study routine at North Melbourne Library or narrm ngarrgu Library. If staying active is part of your routine, BFT Vic Market and Equilibrium Health & Fitness 24/7 North Melbourne are nearby.
For a relaxed evening with friends, The Leveson Restaurant Bar, Town Hall Hotel and Bobbie Peels are local options to consider.
Student Living on Cobden gives you a private studio and puts many of the things you need for student life within easy reach. You’ll have study spaces, shared facilities, public transport and everyday shops close by, while North Melbourne and the CBD give you plenty to do outside university hours.
If you like having your own space but still want to live close to the action, Student Living on Cobden can be a practical base for your time in Melbourne.

The apartment is in a very strategic location, close to everything you need! It’s in the tram zone, near the CBD, and just a short walk to the Unimelb's Parkville campus. Being only a minute away from Queen Victoria Market is a major plus. For student accommodation, it’s reasonably priced compared to others. Back in 2023-2024, rent was around $300/week (excluding utilities). The studio rooms are spacious for the price and come with a private kitchen and bathroom, which is great for those who don’t want to share facilities. The kitchen uses an electric stove instead of gas, which works fine but can lead to higher electricity bills. The amenities in the room are good—a queen-size bed, TV, study table, and bookshelf—all provided. However, there are several issues. If you’re on the lower ground floor, privacy becomes a challenge because people passing by on the street can easily look into your room, making it uncomfortable to open the window. Worse, rooms on the lower ground floor might be near the garbage room, and there’s a risk of mice entering through gaps under the door. The overall building security could be improved. I had a package stolen from my mailbox, even though it was locked. It seems the mailbox locks are not very secure. There was also an alarming incident where an intruder somehow accessed the building and broke into the washing machine coin storage to steal coins. Lastly, the bike storage room isn’t safe either. If you own a bike, you’re better off keeping it inside your room to avoid theft. Despite these issues, I would still recommend this accommodation for students, especially those who want to save money on rent. It is relatively affordable compared to other student accommodations and is very close to Melbourne CBD and the Unimelb campus, which makes it a convenient and practical option for students :)

*Amended review. The folks at Unilodge dropped me a couple of calls and are tending to my specific needs and issues as per a review where I neglected to flesh out or stress the positives. Upon reflection, living here is a good experience overall and management do their best to make sure their tenants are comfortable.* The good: The unit is fresh, contemporary and clean with a subtle colour scheme. Includes a great bed, furniture, some kitchen appliances, good storage space, balcony, goof air flow, fantastic soundproofing. Powerful little climate control system. The building has good security, is very up-to-date and is in one of Melbourne's best locations if you like a good balance of centrality and quiet. There is a resident lounge with Free Wifi that's a kind of communal study area. The residents here are generally nice, young students. Good building management. The Bad: Small sinks, no oven, poorly designed stove. Slightly cheap feel for price and the single room is somewhat cramped. My apartment is at the rear-end of the building so there's not much of a view or really any natural light to speak of and my balcony attracts a lot of small birds. The wall mounted 26" TV has a pretty heinous picture quality (although it is a nice thought). The two frustrating aspects of the room are 1) The shower only lasts about 100 seconds, impossible to have two showers if I have a friend round for example. 2) The only internet option is Spirit, you have a choice between a $200 Wifi router or plug-in ethernet. Overall, having quickly gotten used to these minor inconveniences, I'd say my experience here has been generally positive. The best aspect is the location. It does, however, ultimately feel like student living and isn't an easy space to make feel like a home.

Amelia is absolutely amazing! Best customer service I have ever experienced. Super polite, enthusiastic and solution oriented. The service here is a hundred times better than other Unilodge buildings thanks to her! Apartment was in great shape when I moved in and the small things that needed attending to was solved in 2 hours by Amelia. She should manage all of Unilodge!

Well maintained housing, does lack a few facilities but is located nicely in front of Queen Victoria market, in the vicinity of CBD.
