Coliving: the new generation of shared housing
Born in major cities, coliving reinvents shared housing by adding what it was missing: services and spaces truly designed for living together. 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 designed for those whose lives don't fit into a three-year lease: young professionals starting their careers, freelancers and remote workers, employees on temporary assignments, expats getting settled, or students finishing their studies. You move in with your suitcase, 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 really sets coliving apart is its collective dimension: friendly kitchens, shared lounges, and sometimes even coworking spaces, gyms, or events between residents. For anyone arriving in a new city, it is an instant social network—an asset that neither a studio apartment nor a hotel can offer.
