What is co-living?

The latest trend to hit Sydney, co-living is emerging as an increasingly popular lifestyle choice as young people seek alternatives to expensive housing and isolated living arrangements. Offering the perfect balance of privacy and community, co-living is about to become the next big thing in flexible living. Here’s what you need to know.

Co-living: Your place, your way

A cool new way to live and work, co-living is all about offering independent living in great locations. Instead of having to house-share with strangers or face a long commute from cheaper suburbs, co-living enables you to have it all – right on your doorstep.

Based around the concept of collaborative living, co-living provides private accommodation with multiple shared spaces where residents can come together to share experiences, values and ideas. Think of it as the residential equivalent of co-working – there’s a built-in community whenever you need it and it’s completely up to you how much you want to engage.

The concept originated in Denmark, where families that lived in private homes came together for mealtimes and socialising. Today, as young people struggle to afford high city rents, co-living offers the perfect opportunity to access the best of the city, and live life your way. All you need is your belongings in a bag and Iglu Living will do the rest.

Who is it for?

Perfect for young professionals, recent graduates, or anyone who wants to try out the concept, co-living is a flexible accommodation option that can adapt to all needs.

Young professionals will have the opportunity to interact and network with a whole new community just outside their door, and if you’re running a business or simply working from home, access to communal spaces offers a perfect way to differentiate between home and office life. If you’re still completing your degree, you’ll get all the privacy you need to study – without the pitfalls that come with shared accommodation.

Above all, co-living is an attractive and effective solution for a wide range of people who see the benefits and opportunities in cool designs, great locations, shared interests and collaborative living.
