Frequently Asked Questions

What is coliving?

Coliving is roommate and city living made easy. Instead of scouring Craigslist for roommates, spending your savings on new furniture, and arguing over splitting the bills, you’ll move into a private bedroom in a fully-furnished, all-inclusive shared apartment.

What’s included with coliving? What should I bring when I move in?

As a PMG’s coliving member, your rent includes a full-sized bed-frame, nightstand, lamp, clothes storages, and hangers. In your shared suite you’ll find a fully-furnished living room and dining area, with appliances, cutlery, and household essentials including toilet paper, dish washing soap, sponges, and laundry detergent. Alongside your personal items, we recommend bringing bed and bathroom linens alongside any personal decor. We do not allow members to bring in extra furniture. Coliving offerings may differ depending on your home. Please ask your leasing specialist for a full list of what’s included.

What is included in non-coliving apartments?

As a PMG’s member in a traditional apartment, you’ll have access to convenient amenities, people-first property services, PMG’s built-in community, events, and discounts to local and national brands. Unless stated otherwise, our traditional apartments are unfurnished and not all-inclusive of utilities, WiFi, etc.

Is parking available?

Parking availability is dependent on each home! If a building has a parking garage or lot, you’ll see a Parking icon on our website. Please ask your leasing specialist about available spaces.

Can I pick my roommates in my coliving suite?

If you and a friend would like to live in the same coliving suite together, we’re happy to accommodate your request given that you both qualify and there is availability in the suite. However, due to Fair Housing Laws, we can’t allow members to pick roommates based on factors like gender, religion etc. For example, that means we can’t guarantee you will have an all female suite.

Can I share a room with a friend?

PMG offers rooms with queen-sized beds and ensuite bathrooms at select homes for couples who are looking to live together in a coliving suite. We do not allow members to bring additional furniture.

What happens if I don’t get along with my roommates?

Coliving at PMG is designed to reduce the typical arguments and tensions that come with roommate living, like splitting the bills, buying essentials like toilet paper, and choosing furniture. We do ask that members be respectful of one another and their home, and perform chores like taking out the trash, filling the dishwasher, and maintaining a livable space. However, as a property manager, it’s not within PMG’s power to enforce those behaviors. If your roommate is in violation of their lease, please reach out to our Member Support team. In such cases, we may be able to transfer you to another unit or home.

Can I have a private bathroom?

Select coliving bedrooms offer ensuite bathrooms. Please ask your leasing specialist for more details on availability.

Are pets allowed?

While PMG love animals, we only allow pets at our private studio and 1- and 2-bedroom apartments. In our coliving suites, pets may be allowed as an accommodation for tenants with a qualified disability.

Are community events free?

Yes! All community events are free. Some events are limited to a certain number of people.

What is Coliving in NYC?

Coliving in NYC means having a private room and access to common areas and amenities at a fraction of the price. The city may not sleep, but you can doze off in the comfort of your own coliving or shared space whenever you’re done socializing with your new roommates in various community events. Live the life of a true New Yorker in your own shared apartment and enjoy the perks of communal living.

What is New York City known for?

At this point, NYC is like an open-air museum of pop culture and hustle. Some of the Big Apple’s most well-known contributions include Broadway, cheesecake, the Statue of Liberty, hot dog carts, the Thanksgiving Day Macy’s Parade, Central Park…The list goes on and on and on. If you’ve only seen New York in movies, every day will feel like walking through a film set.

What transportation is available in New York City?

The yellow taxi may be a New York City icon, but nearly everyone here takes the subway. With hundreds of stations throughout all five boroughs and 24/7/365 service, the subway is the fastest, most affordable way to zip around NYC. You’re never far from a subway stop, but if you are, there are buses and ride-sharing services available to take you there.

What are some fun things to do in New York City?

Once you get your fill of tourist attractions—like Times Square, the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, and the MoMA, to name just a few—you can start digging into the real New York City. Whether your idea of fun is catching an off-off-Broadway show on closing night or skating laps around a synthetic rooftop ice rink (seriously), chances are you can do it when coliving in New York. Concerts, sporting matches, and festivals happen almost every night, so be sure to keep your calendar open.
