New Arrivals Sydney Accommodation Guide

Arriving in Sydney for work, study or a permanent move? The first weeks are easier with a furnished apartment that gives you space to explore suburbs, attend school open days, and find the right permanent rental — without committing to a long lease before you know the city.

Choosing the right Sydney suburb as a new arrival

Sydney is a large, spread-out city — choosing the wrong suburb can mean long daily commutes or poor access to schools. Before signing a 12-month lease, spending 4–8 weeks in a furnished apartment in or near your target area lets you assess the suburb properly. Sydney Short Term Rentals will suggest the closest available property to your workplace, school zone or nominated suburb.

Key considerations when choosing: distance to your workplace or university, proximity to your children's school catchment area, public transport access, local shops and amenities, and proximity to Sydney Airport if you travel regularly for work.
