Share houses in Coburg

Room rents in Coburg

The median advertised room in Coburg was $305 a week at the July 2026 sweep, $12 under the city median of $317. That's $25 below the inner north median of $330, which makes Coburg the 8th cheapest of the 19 inner north suburbs we track.

We counted 28 rooms advertised here in July, which makes it a mid-sized market for share houses. 39% of rooms advertised bills included (citywide: 59%). Across Melbourne, rooms with bills included weren't priced any higher than rooms without, so it's worth asking for bills to be included. 61% of Coburg's rooms were listed as available immediately, below the citywide 67%. These figures come from the Rumy Rent Tracker, our quarterly count of Melbourne's share house market, and they're updated with each sweep.

When rooms come up

At the July sweep, 373 rooms across Melbourne had an August move-in date, 4.6 times the number for September. Part of that gap is because rooms are mostly listed a few weeks ahead, but it also lines up with the start of semester two, when a lot of students move. If you're looking in Coburg, the weeks around the start of a semester tend to be when the most rooms come up. If you're listing, it helps to have your ad up before then. 61% of Coburg's rooms were available immediately in July, so the other 39% had a later move-in date.

Where Rumy fits

Rent is only part of the decision. Who you end up living with matters as well. Rumy matches housemates on how they connect: when they sleep, how tidy they are, how they feel about guests and noise. Members can verify their phone number, and a badge shows who has. If you're looking for a room in Coburg, you can see who lives in a house and how you match before you message them. If you're filling a room, you can see the same about the people who apply.
