Coliving: the new generation of shared housing
Born in major cities, coliving reinvents shared housing by adding what it was missing: services and spaces specifically designed for living with others. You rent a private room—often with its own bathroom—in a home or residence where everything is already organized: furnished common areas, internet, cleaning of shared spaces, and utilities included in a single rent payment.
Flexibility above all
Coliving is aimed at those whose lives don't fit into a three-year lease: young professionals starting their careers, freelancers and digital nomads, employees on short-term assignments, expatriates getting settled, and students finishing their studies. You move in with just your suitcase, you can leave just as easily, and the length of your stay adapts to your plans—a few weeks, six months, or a year.
A community, not just a place to live
What truly sets coliving apart is its collective dimension: friendly kitchens, shared living rooms, and sometimes even coworking spaces, gyms, or events for residents. For anyone arriving in a new city, it offers an immediate social network—an advantage that neither a studio apartment nor a hotel can offer.
