This heritage uko building has homely vibes featuring old-world architecture in an old-world suburb. Paddington has attracted artists and designers for decades. Walk the back streets and laneways to discover all that paddington has to offer and how its heritage now meets the contemporary.

Been here since December 2023 and loved the apartment so much! UKO makes it so easy to settle into a new city and was so close to uni & friends. The communal spaces were very nice to meet lovely neighbours and have eachothers backs! The community and house managers were always there to solve problems & have been very respectful in their communication. Will be sad to go!

Lived here for 4 months. Amazing spot to be at during weekends, close to an Aldi and Newtown station.

I lived in UKO Newtown for a couple of months. The maintenance of the property was well kept, all features of the apartment including stove, taps, TV's, bathrooms were all fully functional. It was a very user friendly place to live.

I have been living at UKO Newtown for over 2 years. Fully furnished appartment with a great location close to the bubbling King Street. A lot of public transport around and numerous supermarkets.

Overall good experience, the unit was properly equipped as advertises. And it was pretty quiet during the extend of the stay.

I am across the street at UKO Newtown Village, but I strongly discourage you from spending any money at UKO. Summary: Poor living conditions, openly uncaring administrators, not one good night of sleep since I moved in Since I moved into UKO Newtown Village, there have been bursts of rattling noises coming from my pipes. These bursts of noise occur randomly and in the middle of the night. I have not been able to sleep through the night since I moved in. My sleep has been hellish. For $650 a week, these conditions are beyond unacceptable. I contacted my building supervisor and UKO admin and was disheartened by their lack of action and communication. The building supervisor only works on Mondays and Tuesdays and is almost impossible to reach even when she is working. The UKO admin is equally impossible to reach and only seems interested in their tenants when demanding rent. Despite requesting help from UKO for over a month, my situation has not improved. My neighbors agree. One neighbor moved in to discover her AC wasn't working and her ceiling was leaking. The building supervisor ignored her calls. UKO never made any effort to repair her unit. I cannot recommend UKO less.

Very good position to live in. Near the main road of Newtown, plus all the essential shops are behind the corner. I didn't love the studio but that's just personal preference. Still recommend it!
