Avant at 60 A’Beckett Street in Melbourne CBD is a private apartment building with an indoor pool and gym, about a 3-minute walk from Melbourne Central Station. For students at RMIT University, the university is about a 2-minute walk away, making walking to class one factor to consider when comparing locations.
Getting to university and the train
Flagstaff is another nearby railway station, about an 8-minute walk from the building. You could include your route to class in the inspection trip and walk to the teaching building you will use.
Groceries and eating out
Queen Victoria Market is about a 5-minute walk away, and Coles Melbourne Central is also nearby.
For food, you could start by looking at Regulars, Zawaddi Thai and Captain Melville. Take your grocery list along on inspection day and check the ingredients and meals available, factoring everyday spending into your housing decision.
Building size and shared spaces
Avant was completed in 2017 and has 55 storeys and 456 homes.
Alongside the pool and gym, there is a sauna, steam room, residents’ dining space and cinema. During an inspection, visit the shared spaces you expect to use.
Details to confirm before renting
Check the furniture, appliances, balcony and parking arrangements for the actual apartment you intend to rent. Ask separately about the lease term, utilities and internet, so the shared facilities list is not mistaken for the apartment’s own inclusions.
Ask an adviser about specific rents, availability, move-in dates and rent inclusions.
Private rental apartment assistance is a paid service; your adviser will explain the fees before providing the service. If you need a proxy inspection, Yeeliving assigns it to a senior student. For the private rental early bird plan, see the early bird plan page. Referral cashback is paid only to the referrer, after the referred friend signs a lease and moves in; details are as shown on your account page.
