Belonging to Waterloo's location and access to Green Square and Redfern stations gives students connections to universities and institutions across Sydney.
Belong Waterloo sits at the premium end of Sydney student accommodation pricing, and it is worth being clear about that going in. The one-bedroom starting at AU$1,025 per week is a significant weekly commitment, and even the shared configurations, while more cost-effective per person, remain premium by Sydney standards.
What you are paying for is a well-appointed apartment building in inner-south Sydney, with a gym, spa, swimming pool, onsite cafe, garden, and study rooms, alongside Woolworths 0.1 kilometres from the door, Green Square Station 0.7 kilometres away, and some of Waterloo's better cafes and restaurants within 0.2 kilometres of the building. If budget is the primary consideration, there are more affordable options available in Sydney. But if you want a premium apartment living in a dynamic inner-south suburb with a strong amenities setup and easy access to universities across the city, Belong Waterloo is a strong option worth considering seriously.

The best decision I ever made in Sydney: Choosing Iglu Waterloo!!! Its magnificent exterior is complemented by high-quality accommodations and a wide range of amenities for guests. Here, you can escape the hustle and bustle of Sydney and enjoy your own private time. What's even more impressive is the friendliness and smiles of the Iglu Waterloo team. William, in particular, is incredibly sincere; he's always there to support residents whenever they encounter problems! For me, Iglu Waterloo is less of an apartment and more of a loving and warm home.

I’ve really enjoyed living here! The apartment complex organizes lots of fun activities, which makes it easy to meet neighbors and feel like part of a community. A special shout-out to William from the staff team — he’s always friendly, helpful, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. Highly recommend this place!
The Laundry Foundry
It’s great having Iglu Student Accommodation in the neighbourhood. The building is modern, impressive and very well maintained, with facilities that seem thoughtfully designed for student living. It will be a great vibe to the Southern end of Waterloo. We recently had a chat with one of the students who spoke really positively about their experience there. They mentioned how convenient it is having everything close by, especially a laundromat when it comes to washing larger items like bed sheets and doonas from time to time. Overall, it’s a strong addition to the area and contributes positively to the local community. Always nice to see quality accommodation supporting students in Waterloo.
