Barker Street
Barker Street Apartments are located on campus overlooking the lush Village Green.
Built in 1996, Barker is the perfect fit for just about everyone. You’ll make friends, meet people and get the most out of a flatshare experience. Not only are you on campus, you’re minutes away from Kingsford Shops on Anzac Parade (and McDonald’s is right around the corner!).
There are 59 apartments of varying sizes with an average room size of approximately 10 to 12 square metres.
It’s independent living in a community environment.

Student support
Community Assistants are current UNSW students living on-site at Barker Apartments. Their role is to engage with residents, facilitate social activities and act as the first point of contact for any issues or problems that may arise.
"My schedule is a little hectic. Often, I need to stay in the laboratory till very late, so having the freedom to cook my meals in my own kitchen is handy. I’ve got plenty of space in my bedroom and some pretty fantastic housemates."
