Prices vary depending on which house you choose and whether you choose to stay in a private or a shared room. Exact pricing can be found on the specific webpage for each of our houses in New York, Jersey City and San Francisco.

What happens after I apply?

If everything checks out, well send you a follow-up email within one business day with an offer.

When will I receive an offer?

Within one business day of filling out our application. Usually the same day as your application submission, even on weekends!

How many people are in each house?

It depends on the house, but our houses range from 6 members to 65 members. Keep in mind these members are spread across multiple apartments, in both share and private rooms.

How big are the rooms?

Smallest private rooms are around 70 square feet and our largest private rooms are around 140 square feet, and they have everything in-between. Our smallest two-person room is around 75 square feet, and our largest is around 170 square feet. To see the exact size of our rooms, please schedule a viewing of our house. Viewings can only be scheduled after applying and receiving an offer

Whats included in my rent?

Your room, bed (prepared), utilities, wifi, move-in ready furniture, cleaning services, working space, security systems, constant access to your house leader, Netflix and new friends :).

How do I pay for rent?

All payments are sent as electronic invoices sent to your email. You may pay in any electronic format; they discourage cash or checks, though it is possible. For your first moth's rent, you will receive an invoice to pay after being approved as a client. For all future month's payments, when you pay depends on when you move in. If you arent moving in on the first day of the month, your first months invoice will be for one month starting from your move-in date. For the second invoice, you will be billed a pro-rated amount until the last day of the month. After that, all future months will be billed from the first day of the month to the last day of the month. If you are moving in on the first of the month, your rent is always due on the first of the month, with no pro-rated invoices.

What's the security like at your locations?

Most of our locations are equipped with keypad access and an August Lock security system, although a few use traditional keyed locks. they have Nest security systems in all of our common areas to keep everyones valuables safe. These are not monitored, and are only accessed when our members request that they look at them for justifiable purposes (missing items left in common rooms, suspicious activity, etc.). Most of our locations also have lockers for members valuables. In addition to the above, coliving provides a unique, unintended security benefit: Because many people are living in the same spaces, there is virtually always someone at home.

Why are there no locks on the doors?

The New York Housing Department policy disallows residential properties from placing locks on bedroom doors for fire safety purposes; however, even if property were allowed to put locks on the doors, property is committed to providing safe and secure coliving spaces through trust and mutual respect. Bedroom doors are unlocked because it is a display of this trust and respect; on top of our security systems mentioned above, our members are selected for their appreciation of a safe environment.

How do you create a sense of community?

From our house leaders (who will meet you upon arrival), to the events they hold multiple times per month, our team is dedicated to giving you the sense of community you are looking for, whether in a professional or personal capacity. You may choose to be as involved or uninvolved as youd like; you are welcome to stay with us either way! Check out our blog to get an understanding of our community.

Can I extend my lease?

Yes! Theyre happy to have our members stay longer; however, they can't extend you lease if they don't know about your extension. As soon as you decide to extend your lease, let us know by emailing them. If you have not committed to an extension, your bed can be reserved by anyone admitted to property

How does the mail work here?

Just address your mail to your houses address and our staff will make sure it gets inside. Follow the directions in your move-in guide to ensure a successful delivery.

It depends on the house, so some houses have no machine (but laundromats right around the corner), some houses have coin-operated machines and some have free laundry. You can find out the specifics on the house pages.

Who is the house leader and what do they do?

Our house leaders are members who stay at our houses to help you out! They help with move-ins, move-outs, events and general help. They live in the house and are always accessible

Tenant is permitted an overnight guest up to 8 nights per month (2 nights/week). Guests must be at least 18 years of age; exceptions will be granted on a case-by-case basis. If you have a significant-other that you would like to share a room with, you are more than welcome to have them join the lease for an additional $200/month (pending a successful background check). If you would like to have guests over during the day, you may do so as long as its not during quiet-hours.

While they abide by all current housing laws, please understand that this is a coliving space and that current and future members that you share the space with may be allergic to your animal.

Yes! There is just a $200/month surcharge for couples, or any situation in which two people are sharing a private room. Are the bedrooms co-ed? What about the rest of the houseAll rooms are gender separated unless otherwise requested by a group. The other spaces are shared by all!

When/how will you refund my security deposit?

Security deposits are refunded within 15 days of departure from property premises. Deposits are returned to the account they were paid with, and this is the only way they are able to return funds. If you have since closed the account that you used to pay the security deposit, contact that bank, explain the situation, and they usually can temporarily re-open the account so you can receive and withdraw the funds.
