I Can’t Believe This Is Under $500 😳 | Sydney Apartment Tours 2025

I’m apartment hunting in Sydney — and honestly, I didn’t expect this 😳 From two surprisingly cheap apartments under $500/week to one that was an absolute disaster, this is a realistic look at what renting in Sydney actually looks like in 2025. In this vlog, I’m taking you with me on real apartment tours through three very different places. Two were surprisingly affordable for Sydney standards, but they’re tiny… so I’m asking myself: could I really live in such a small space? And then there’s the third one — over $600/week, dirty, and honestly, a total no from me 😬 Along the way, I’m walking through some of my favourite neighbourhoods: Potts Point, Darlinghurst and the Sydney CBD. I’ll show you what these areas feel like to walk through, give my honest impressions, and talk about why each one has its own vibe. Potts Point has such a charming European feel, Darlinghurst is lively and creative, and the CBD is buzzing with energy — but of course, the prices and apartment sizes vary a lot. I’m also comparing the Sydney rental market to Melbourne’s, since I’ve been apartment hunting in both cities. The difference in price, size, and quality is wild — so if you’re curious about which city gives you more for your money, this video will give you a clear, unfiltered look. This isn’t one of those sugar-coated “perfect apartment” videos. It’s the real deal: messy carpets, tiny studios, neighbourhood noise, and the occasional “wow, this is actually pretty nice” moment.
