La tendance du co-living : c'est quoi exactement ?

The real estate market is constantly changing, and an emerging trend that is gaining popularity is that of co-living. Co-living offers a new way of living in a communal setting, by offering shared living spaces and services adapted to the needs of tenants. Focus on the advantages of this new rental approach.

What is co-living?

Co-living is a residential concept that consists of sharing certain living spaces with other people while benefiting from common services and facilities. Unlike a traditional flat share, where each tenant only has their own room as a private space, and shares the common areas, the co-living approach offers fully furnished accommodation with larger private living spaces such as a studio for example, and more varied common areas, such as kitchens, laundry rooms, TV rooms, co-working and relaxation areas.

The main difference between co-living and flat shares is the community aspect of co-living. Indeed, co-living promotes interactions between residents by encouraging social activities, events, and shared services. This creates a real sense of community and belonging, which can be particularly attractive to people who want to establish new relationships and have a more fulfilling life experience.

Co-living is gaining popularity in Switzerland. Co-living projects are emerging in major cities such as Zurich, Geneva, and Lausanne, offering an attractive alternative to traditional rental accommodation.

The benefits of co-living for tenants

Co-living has many advantages for tenants. Firstly, it reduces housing costs, as they are shared amongst residents. This can be particularly advantageous in large cities where rents are high. In addition, co-living offers the possibility of benefiting from included services, such as cleaning, maintenance of common areas, and even organised social activities.

In addition, co-living promotes the creation of social bonds and offers an enriching community living experience.

Finally, co-living offers increased flexibility in terms of rental duration. Many co-living spaces offer flexible rental contracts, allowing tenants to choose the length of their stay according to their needs.

Co-living trend: who is it for?

Co-living appeals to a wide range of people. It may be suitable for young professionals looking for affordable and convenient accommodation in major cities. Students can also find co-living an interesting alternative to traditional university residences. In addition, people in transition, such as expats or digital nomads, can find in co-living a flexible solution adapted to their lifestyle.

Co-living is a booming trend that offers a new way of community living. In Switzerland, it’s gaining in popularity. Co-living projects are emerging in major cities such as Zurich, Geneva, and Lausanne, offering an attractive alternative to traditional rental accommodation.

With its advantages, such as cost reduction, creation of social connections, and ease of management, co-living is attracting more and more interest amongst tenants.
