The Ultimate Guide to Co-living: How to Create a Happy Home

Co-living is an increasingly popular housing option.

And for students, young professionals, and digital nomads who want an affordable, convenient, and social living experience... co-living is a real game changer.

But living with strangers in a shared space can also come with challenges.

Conflicting schedules, lifestyles, and cleanliness levels can take time to work around.

At our co-living apartments, we strive to create a welcoming community where everyone feels at home.

And to ensure a pleasant experience for our tenants, we have established guidelines.

Here are some fundamental guidelines to keep in mind:

Respect your roommates:

Living in close quarters with others requires a certain level of respect and consideration. Please be mindful of your roommates' schedules, noise levels, and personal space. Keep common areas clean and tidy, and always clean up after yourself.

Communicate openly:

Communication is vital to a successful co-living experience. We encourage you to discuss any issues or concerns with your roommates. If you're having trouble with something, chances are your roommates are, too. We ask that you work together to find solutions that work for everyone.

Follow the house rules:

We have established a set of house rules that apply to everyone who lives in our apartment. These rules cover noise levels, cleanliness, shared spaces and respecting each other's privacy. Please take the time to read and understand these rules, and ensure that you always follow them.

Share resources and responsibilities:

Our apartments are a community, and that means sharing resources and responsibilities. Establish a system for sharing common resources such as kitchen appliances, cleaning supplies, and toiletries. And use these resources responsibly, and take responsibility for keeping the common areas clean and tidy. We also ask that you participate in any rotating schedules for cleaning and maintenance.

Be inclusive and welcoming:

Our apartments are home to diverse people from all backgrounds and cultures. We celebrate and welcome this diversity and ask that you do, too. Please be respectful and inclusive of your roommates, and promote a culture of acceptance and tolerance. This may involve organizing cultural events, celebrating different holidays and traditions, and creating a welcoming environment.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure a pleasant co-living experience for everyone in our apartments.

Please get in touch with our staff for assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

We are here to help you make the most of your co-living experience and are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and inclusive community for all of our tenants.
