With flexible leases, all-inclusive rent costs and furnished rooms, co-livings provide everything you need to settle in right away in your new apartment, townhouse or home. Whether you’re planning to stay for just a few months, or year round.
What is a coliving?
Coliving is a growing trend among young professionals, digital nomads, and students for renting shared apartments. Whether you’re moving to Chicago for work, university, or just looking for a new apartment, coliving is a good way to save money and live with like-minded people. Co-living places people from different backgrounds together and encourage them to interact, collaborate and form new friendships. When compared to college dorms, coliving is much more attractive, since it’s relatively inexpensive, all-inclusive and allows you to rent a furnished room with an individual lease.
Coliving has really gained traction over the past few years and there are many different Co-living operators available in Chicago and nationwide. Each coliving has a different design, layout, and focus locations. Rent price also varies and corresponds to their offer and of course location. However, some key features that they all share are: furnished common spaces, amenities shared by all members of the co-living community such as a backyard, co-working space, a rooftop and sometimes even a gym. Some also throw community events like yoga classes, joint outings, cookouts and movie nights. You will also have periodic cleanings included in your rent, which helps reduce the chores list as well as potential tension among roommates. In most colivings, you’ll have your own private bedroom and share a bathroom with your roommates. While most rooms are private, some rooms will be shared between 2 or 3 people (the price will be lower for shared rooms). The common spaces will also be shared by your Coliving roommates, and maybe even your Coliving neighbours. This is great if you want your own space, but are still interested to hang out with your roommates every now and then
Why live in a coliving?
If you’re a social person by nature and want to live in a place that encourages bonding among its residents (or just a way to save money on rent), coliving is right for you! This type of shared apartment provides a great environment for newcomers to Chicago, those just starting their careers, or even digital nomads who want to make new friends and to meet like-minded individuals from all walks of life. Co-livings also saves you the work of finding roommates or having to worry about them paying the rent. Leases are individual and you can rent a Coliving room for a few months or a year. You also don’t have to worry about moving or buying new furniture since the apartment and rooms come furnished (some colivings might offer a furnished room as an additional feature). So if you want an easy and flexible move, this is a great option. Some co-livings even allow you to switch between their locations, so you can experience living in different neighbourhoods. As with all things shared, co-living spaces are about more than just sharing an apartment; they’re also about community. As with most large cities, Chicago is full of busy people, and it can be hard to meet people or make new friends. Living in a Coliving can solve that.
