Altitude At Taringa

This is a nice place to live for students especially because of the high privacy and the comfort of studying.
There are 5 types of unit:
Studio unit
1 bedroom unit
1 bedroom (double) unit
2 bedroom unit
3 bedroom unit
Each bedroom has its own ensure which is very nice so you don’t need to share bathroom with stranger. Also if you like quiet place to study you can choose unit with less rooms. You can also request to the management who you want to be put in the unit if you have no friends to live together. For example, request to get housemate who is also studying postgraduate or who comes from the same country.
The management office is located in the building one. What’s good with that, if you have any enquiries or something needs to be fixed in your unit you can just walk in to the office and tell them about that.
One downside about renting in this apartment is that the bills (gas and electricity) comes every 3 months from the management. So we don’t get it straight from the gas/​electricity company. The management charge 10% for the admin which I think too much. Also we could not see the real bills so we don’t know whether the bills which they sent us are real numbers from the bills from the company. Which is bad thing because the management may be able to put more numbers total bills than its supposed to be since we don’t know it. So if you like transparency you may not like how they do bills here.
Another good thing is the location. It is located right opposite taringa station, that makes it so convenient since train can bring you everywhere you want. Also located between toowong village and indoropillilly shopping centre. Easy to do groceries and other general shopping. It takes 15 minutes by train to the city. Pretty good!
Good connection to universities, Uq, Griffith and QUt.
I’ve found that Altitude is the cheapest with the quality among all other student accommodation like unilodge and urbanest.
