Belong Zetland: Your Student Apartment in Sydney's Zetland Neighborhood

Belong-Zetland is located at 10-14 Defries Avenue, Zetland NSW 2017, in the inner-south of Sydney, adjacent to the Green Square development precinct. It is a short walk from Belong Rosebery at 7 Rosebery Avenue, and the two properties share a similar profile: apartment-style student accommodation in a well-connected part of the city that has seen significant development over the past decade. Belong-Zetland offers one-, two-, and three-bapartments, with one-bedroom apartments starting from AUD $995 per weekbedroom.

Wi-Fi is included in the rent. Facilities include a gym, swimming pool, spa, study rooms, on-site cafe, on-site laundry, car parking, 24-hour security, and CCTV. Green Square Station is 0.6 kilometres away, providing train access across Sydney and to the airport. Bus stops on Defries Avenue and Joynton Avenue are located within 0.1 to 0.2 kilometres. For students who want an apartment living in Zetland with access to multiple Sydney universities via the Green Square transport connections, Belong-Zetland is worth considering alongside its close neighbor Belong Rosebery.

Accommodation Options at Belong Zetland Sydney

Belong-Zetland offers three apartment formats, all self-contained with private kitchens and bathrooms. The pricing below is per apartment per week, not per person.

Apartment Type	Starting Weekly Rent	Per-Person Cost (indicative)
1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom Apartment	AUD $995.00	AUD $995 (single occupancy)
2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom Apartment	AUD $1,340.00	AUD $670 per person (two sharing)
3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom Apartment	AUD $1,690.00	AUD $563 per person (three sharing)

The per-person calculation matters here. A three-bedroom apartment at AUD $1,690 per week shared between three students works out to approximately AUD $563 per person, which is considerably more competitive than the one-bedroom headline figure suggests. Students who can coordinate a group of two or three to share an apartment find that the larger formats offer significantly better value than the one-bedroom rate suggests.

Both bathrooms in the two-bedroom format provide each occupant a private bathroom, which is a practical advantage over shared bathroom arrangements in more conventional student housing.

Student-Friendly Facilities - Belong Zetland Student Accommodation Sydney

Study and Social

The on-site study rooms provide a quiet, dedicated workspace separate from the apartment, which matters in a residential building where the living and study environments are otherwise the same space. The on-site cafe covers daily coffee and lighter meals without requiring a trip out.
