It's renting, without the raging.

Every apartment includes a fridge, split-system heating and cooling, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, induction cooktop and electric oven.

Local’s Resident and Maintenance Team works onsite, so if the dishwasher starts playing up, you tell someone down the hall and they arrange the fix. You can paint the walls, hang your art and bring your pet, because this is your home. We'd like you to stay for a long time, and we run the place with that in mind.

Rent in Kensington without ever having to line up around the block.*

*We can't guarantee that there won't be a queue at Laksa King.
