SDA Building Types
Enliven Housing is Australia's most trusted SDA housing provider
At Enliven Housing, we offer a range of Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) types – from apartments to villas and houses – so you can choose what best fits your lifestyle, preferences and support needs. Our options also span across all  SDA design categories – Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, High Physical Support and Robust, giving you greater choice in finding the right home for you.
SDA Apartments
SDA Apartments are a great home option if you’re seeking independence in an inclusive, neighbouring setting. Usually single-level homes within a larger complex, this SDA building type is ideal for participants wanting to share supports.
Our one, two and three-bedroom apartments are located in central areas across Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Canberra and Perth, close to shops, transport and community hubs. With smart layouts and contemporary design features, they’re well suited for higher-density living and make daily life more convenient and connected.

SDA Houses
SDA houses give you more space and privacy, making them a great choice for individuals who prefer a suburban lifestyle. This SDA building type is designed for shared living, with NDIS funding options that support between two and five residents.
These homes often feature adaptable layouts and private outdoor areas perfect for relaxing, entertaining or spending time with loved ones. Located in welcoming neighbourhoods, they offer a strong sense of community while still giving you the independence of your own home.

SDA Villas
SDA Villas offer a balance of independence while still being connected to a neighbouring space. They can be considered as ‘semi-detached homes’ in the way that they share a wall or boundary with another homes while maintaining their own private entrance and living areas.
This SDA building type gives you the best of both worlds – your own private spaces, along with shared facilities that make daily life easier and more connected, without being part of a larger apartment-style complex.
