Nightingale Housing proudly partnered with not-for-profit organisation Fresh Hope Communities to deliver an exciting new project in the inner west of Sydney: Nightingale Marrickville, a one-off development designed just for renters.

Located on Illawarra Road, Nightingale Marrickville is positioned in an extremely walkable, wheelable and public transport-accessible suburb of the inner west.

Designed by Sydney based SJB, the project includes 54 teilhaus apartments, Nightingale’s space-efficient, small-footprint homes which have been incredibly popular with residents in our owner-occupier communities. The project includes generous shared spaces for laundry, gardening, dining and socialising. 

Importantly, each home has been made available for people to rent at rates 20% lower than market value and like all Nightingale projects, community is at the heart of the project.

The Sydney rental market is particularly tough right now and we’d like thank Fresh Hope Communities for their generosity and boldness in developing this project. And to churches of Christ in NSW and ACT who provided the 99-year ground lease to Fresh Hope Communities to continue their legacy of serving the local community of Marrickville.

Living here, I get my own space but I'm still building towards my future. I'm not living paycheck to paycheck.
