Why live in a community within a coliving setup
Living in a community offers numerous advantages and allows everyone to flourish through sharing. Making friends, learning from others, finding accommodation easily, reducing costs, or improving one's living environment: the reasons are many to embark on this adventure.
This is why collective living initiatives are increasingly being developed. Among these, coliving is gradually making its way to France, after having proven its worth in the United States, especially in San Francisco.
Living in a community within a coliving space
Meeting new people isn't always easy in big cities. Coliving allows you to discover new faces and promotes exchanges, especially when it is specially designed to accommodate several people. Being surrounded, having good times, laughing together: it's very easy with coliving.
What is Coliving?
Coliving is a shared living concept that combines the benefits of hotel services, flatsharing, and coworking. It is a communal space where you can live, sleep, and eat, but also work. It represents the merging of the collaborative economy with community living, enhanced by the services of traditional hospitality.
Community living in coliving: finally, real encounters!
Living in a group inevitably means sharing a lot of things. This can take various forms: sharing values, a passion, or an activity with others. In coliving, the community is real! In the era of social media and virtual connections, what could be better than re-establishing a real physical connection with other people?
Easier housing in Paris
In a city like Paris, finding housing can be an uphill battle, and the prices are steep! To avoid settling for a tiny attic room on the 6th floor without an elevator, affordable alternatives are scarce. Some opt for traditional flatsharing, which comes with its set of advantages. However, flatshares in Paris often lack comfort: living rooms turned into bedrooms, no common living space, tiny kitchens, limited number of bathrooms... The conditions are not always conducive to living well together and sharing easily. Coliving is an interesting alternative: the living arrangements are specially designed and set up for community life. Everything is functional, and the space is comfortable because there's room! Finally, established community living rules allow residents to thrive and avoid the drawbacks of traditional flatshares.
Reduce housing costs by opting for community living
One of the main advantages of choosing community living is the cost! Sharing expenses among housemates obviously reduces the overall price. Expenses related to rent, energy, various subscriptions (internet, TV channels, streaming platforms), and even cleaning are thus decreased. As a result, housemates benefit from an exceptional number of services included in their rent, which would simply be unaffordable if purchased individually. For example, at La Casa des Sportifs in Maisons-Alfort, the rent with over 30 services included is €867, whereas it would be €1387 if all the services were acquired individually. It's food for thought!
Improving one's living environment
Living in a community significantly improves one’s quality of life. The reason is simple: with more people, common areas are larger and facilities are more comfortable since costs are shared! Gardens, spacious bedrooms, large living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms... you'll be much more comfortable than in a small studio.
So, are you tempted by a Coliving experience?
La Casa has set up flatshares with an ALL-inclusive rent, with no hidden costs! Beyond living in an incredible house, it's also a great way to meet new people and have an exceptional community living experience in coliving.
