Accommodation Options at Perth Central, Perth, Australia

The room selection at Perth Central covers shared apartments and private studios. The shared options suit students who are happy to live alongside other residents, while the studio categories give students a more private arrangement with their own kitchen and bathroom facilities.

Shared Apartments

Several apartment formats are available for students who prefer shared living. The options include two-bedroom, four-bedroom, and five-bedroom apartments.

Room Type	Starting Price
Cosy Two-Bed Apartment	From AUD 432/week
Panoramic Cosy 2-Bed Apartment	From AUD 432/week
4-Bed Ensuite Apartment	From AUD 432/week
Panoramic 4-Bed Ensuite	From AUD 432/week

The 4 Bed Ensuite categories add private ensuite bathrooms to the shared apartment arrangement. The panoramic versions offer another room configuration for students who are comparing the available layouts.

Shared apartments can work for students who want a private bedroom but still have communal areas within the apartment. The number of bedrooms also affects how many residents share those common spaces.

Studio Apartments

Students who prefer a private living arrangement can choose from three studio categories:

Room Type	Starting Price
King Single Studio	From AUD 432/week
Double Studio	From AUD 432/week
Panoramic Double Studio	From AUD 432/week

The studios include their own kitchen and bathroom facilities, giving residents a more self-contained setup than the shared apartment categories.

The Double Studio and Panoramic Double Studio offer alternatives within the private accommodation range, while the King Single Studio provides another layout for students comparing room sizes and pricing.

Choosing Between Shared and Private Accommodation

The main distinction across the Perth Central accommodation range is how much of the living space is shared. Apartment residents use communal areas with their flatmates, while studio residents have their own kitchen and bathroom facilities.

The starting price of a room is approximately AUD 432 per week. Actual prices can vary according to the specific room type, availability and booking period, so students should check the current price when comparing individual rooms.

The accommodation range is one of the first things students should compare. Perth Central has two-bedroom, four-bedroom and five-bedroom apartments alongside King Single, Double and Panoramic Double Studios.
