Residence Overview and Location
This listing is for a single room within a five-bedroom apartment located at 55 Gurrs Road, Beulah Park, in the City of Burnside, South Australia. The property is classified as an independent house (a house converted into apartments) and the room type is non-ensuite, meaning you share bathroom facilities with other tenants. The address is in the suburb Beulah Park, roughly 6 km east of Adelaide’s city centre, offering a quieter residential setting while still being within commuting distance to the city and its universities. Key on-site features include laundry facilities, parking, and a garden.
The property is currently marked as not available on the listing platform, so interested students should treat this as a reference point for similar accommodations in the area rather than an immediate booking option.
Who This Residence Suits
This type of shared apartment is suited to students who value a structured household with multiple flatmates. With five bedrooms, the common spaces—kitchen, living area, bathroom—are shared among a larger group, which can create a social living environment for those who enjoy regular interaction. The presence of a garden and parking adds convenience if you have a car or want outdoor space.
The non-ensuite room type is typically more budget-friendly than studio or ensuite options, making it a practical choice if you are willing to trade a private bathroom for a lower weekly cost. The location in Beulah Park places you near the eastern suburbs, which are generally quiet and residential, with parks and local shops within walking distance. The commute to Adelaide University or the city centre is manageable by bus or bicycle (around 20–30 minutes).
Who Should Look Elsewhere
If you prefer privacy, a private bathroom (ensuite), or a smaller household, this apartment is unlikely to meet your needs. A five-bedroom share means frequent use of shared facilities, and your flatmates’ schedules can affect access to bathrooms and kitchen. Those who need a short walk to campus or want to be in the heart of the city nightlife may find Beulah Park too far from the action—though the trade-off is lower rent and more space.
Students with strict study requirements who need absolute quiet may also find a larger household challenging, as noise levels depend on flatmates. Additionally, the apartment’s current “not available” status means you should look for comparable properties nearby or check back after updates.
What Residents Say
As of the data provided, there are no resident reviews for this specific property. This is common for newly listed or less frequently renewed rooms. Without firsthand feedback, prospective tenants should rely on the property’s description and the standard experience of shared living in similar Adelaide suburbs. It is recommended to request a virtual tour, ask the operator about current tenants’ demographics (e.g., students vs. professionals), and read reviews for other rooms in the same building if available.
Price Positioning
The indicated weekly rent for this room ranges from AUD 235 to AUD 255. This is indicative — confirm with the operator as actual prices may change based on lease length, room size, or demand. To contextualise:
- Adelaide’s overall city from-price for student accommodation across all property types (including studios and shares) is AUD 205 per week.
- At AUD 235–255, this room sits above that entry-level threshold. The higher cost likely reflects the property’s features (parking, garden, five-bedroom apartment setup) and suburb location.
For a non-ensuite room in a shared house, this price is reasonable for the eastern suburbs, where rental supply can be tight. Compare with other shared rooms in Beulah Park or nearby suburbs such as Kensington Gardens or toorak Gardens (avoiding brand names); prices for similar configurations typically range from AUD 220 to AUD 270 weekly. The operator may offer lower rates for longer stays (e.g., 12-month lease), so ask.
Room Type Guidance
This accommodation is a non-ensuite room in an independent house. Key points:
- Non-ensuite: You share a bathroom with other flatmates (likely 4–5 people sharing one or two bathrooms). Be prepared for scheduling.
- Independent house: The building is not a purpose-built student apartment block but a converted house, offering a more residential feel. Common areas may be larger than in a standard flat.
- Five-bedroom setup: The size of the household means more flatmates but also more opportunities to split bills (electricity, internet, water are usually additional costs on top of rent). Check whether utilities are included in the weekly price.
- Floor plan: No specific dimensions are provided. Ask the operator about room size, window direction, and whether the room is furnished (typically student rooms in Australia come furnished with bed, desk, wardrobe).
If you prefer a smaller household, consider two- or three-bedroom apartments. If you want an ensuite, look for rooms tagged “ensuite” or a studio.
Booking Timing Considerations
Given the property’s “not available” status on the platform (at the time of data collection, likely mid-2026), booking is not possible for this specific room now. However, similar apartments at the same address may become available as current leases end. General guidance for Adelaide student housing:
- Peak demand: February and July (Australian semester starts) are the busiest booking periods. If you are planning for the 2027 academic year, start searching in September–October 2026 for the best choices.
- Lease start flexibility: Many operators allow you to secure a room up to 3–4 months in advance. If you see a similar room in the same building or area, act quickly.
- Waitlist: If this exact unit is your top choice, ask the operator if they have a waitlist for cancellations or future releases.
Because Adelaide’s from-price for student housing is AUD 205, the demand for rooms under AUD 250 is high. Book early to avoid settling for more expensive options.
