Coliving? No thanks! Or maybe yes.

Choosing rooms to rent in shared apartments seems to be the prerogative of students. In fact, it is a widespread way of life, particularly among college students. But nowadays, with increasingly expensive living and changing work styles, it's a great option even if you're a worker.

Living in the city, especially away from your family and thus security, could be difficult if faced alone. There are not only costs and expenses to consider, but also responsibilities, commitments, and sometimes loneliness, if you have not yet made acquaintances.

Furthermore, the way of working is changing, many companies are focusing on smart working, so it is also more complicated to form relationships with colleagues. We're not talking about digital nomads, who have opted for a more independent and liberated lifestyle, but that doesn't mean they don't look for social connections when they move from one location to another.

How can you achieve this by decreasing the effort? In a word, with coliving. If you're already looking for a housing solution to move to another city, you could opt for a traditional apartment to share or a more modern form of co-living.

Still not sure? Read on because by the end of the article you will have a clearer idea.

What is coliving and how it works

Coliving is simply the best option if you want to move to a big city. It offers you the chance to meet new people who share the same situation as you and, at affordable prices.

It is a new method of living together with other people even from different parts of the world. Even if sharing a house or apartment everyone has its own room and can enjoy its own space independently. At the same time, some areas, which may vary according to the solution chosen, will be shared allowing you to exchange experiences, make friends or even new work relationships.

This formula is already present in several European cities and is perfectly matches students’ needs, but it is also a perfect solution for young workers or digital nomads who want to travel, have adventures and open up to new opportunities.

More and more buildings are being arranged to offer coliving solutions, a way to make living together even more interesting and productive.

5 advantages of coliving apartments

If you are looking for a living solution for a few months or one that is more permanent over time, coliving is just the perfect option for you.

Sharing living spaces is not new and is often still seen as a limitation. It is sometimes associated with college life and the inability to pay rent alone. With the emerging concept of coliving, perspectives change.

This new method of coliving is increasingly being chosen by so many young and old because of its many advantages over what the housing market offers, especially in capital cities and large cities.

The advantages it offers also depend on the mindset of those who are part of it, in addition to the real benefits it allows. So, let's look at 5 of the most important benefits of coliving.

1. Coliving is cheaper

Moving for work or study requires so many sacrifices, both psychologically and economically. With rent prices skyrocketing and tied to long-term contracts, it becomes increasingly difficult to move, and sometimes the obstacles seem insurmountable.

Coviling is the solution that helps you save money and reduce your financial burden without having to give up the comforts of home. It also saves you time because you can start searching for your room directly online and initiate the creation of an actual lease with a few simple clicks. Furthermore, expenses are included in the monthly or weekly instalment, according to your needs.

2. Privacy but without loneliness

Homesickness or the fear of being alone, can be an obstacle for those who want to study or work in another city. That's why coliving is the best solution!

Sharing a home does not mean that you will always be surrounded by people. You will be able to have a quiet time anytime you want. You will have your own room and therefore your own privacy and at the same time you will be able to meet and make connections with people who, like you, have chosen this solution. In fact, our areas are designed so that everyone can decide when they want to interact with others.

Sharing your life experiences can be an incentive to embark on new adventures and enrich your background.

3. Included services

We know, coming to an agreement between roommates on what products to buy and what services to use so as not to go over budget can be tedious. With coliving you can avoid all that.

You no longer have to worry about searching for the best gas or electricity supply deals and you don't have to deal with household administration. This allows you to have fewer thoughts and spend more time on the other things in your life. We have also thought of a cleaning service for you to make sure your room is clean and tidy before your arrival, and for houses with more than 10 rooms there is a weekly cleaning service.

Everything stays in a fixed monthly instalment and with a single receipt. Nothing could be more convenient!

Once you have chosen the right solution for you, all you have to do is get your things in order and go out to explore the city.

4. More flexible contracts

Flexibility is one of the strengths and not to be underestimated. Especially if you don't want to get in touch with real estate agencies and sign contracts that bind you to stay in the same place for a long time.

In coliving you will find the short- and long-term solutions that suit you best, and if you want to request check-in and check-out from the house you can easily book an appointment directly from the app. Thanks to the online procedures you will also be able to leave your deposit, which is used to lock the room, and receive the bureaucratic support you need.

Whether you are a student, a worker, or a digital nomad, coliving offers you the opportunity to choose how long you stay and leave whenever you want. In short, you will have your total freedom.

5. Spaces designed especially for your needs

Among the things that make our spaces stand out is definitely the design. The areas of our homes are designed especially for you to live in a modern place while providing all the comforts you need.

All facilities are equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi that can connect to multiple devices. This also makes our apartments perfect places to study or work, alone or in company. A way, in addition to stimulating friendships, to foster networking and find new business opportunities.

But home is still home, so it’s also perfect for dinners with friends and sharing moments of relaxation and fun.

So, if you are still considering whether to choose coliving, we can assure you that it has never been easier to find services, flexibility, a sense of community and sustainability in one package!
