Clamart

Shared accommodation is a growing lifestyle and housing trend in France. In high-demand areas, shared housing allows young people to find accommodation more easily, close to their place of study or work. Present in city centers and comfortable zones, it is one of the only affordable options for renting an apartment or house. It is no surprise, then, that 79% of roommates are aged 17 to 30. Moreover, 58% of them are students, demonstrating the high interest in this lifestyle today and its necessity and popularity among young people.

The attractiveness of Clamart in the shared accommodation market today is simple: its proximity to Paris and its financial accessibility. Located 5 km from Paris, real estate agencies and private owners in Clamart offer houses and apartments for shared rent. Generally, rooms cost less than €1,000 per month, including utilities.

As Clamart is a city located near the outskirts of Paris, the available rentals are often designed for 3 to 5 people, with an area between 50 m² and 110 m². They are furnished so that the new occupant can move in quickly. These shared accommodations can take the form of a large apartment to share, a studio, a two-floors house with a garden, or a room in a resident’s home.

Finding shared accommodation in Clamart

Wondering how to find a shared room in Clamart? Don’t worry, there are various ways to help you find what you’re looking for:

Trust Social Media: Numerous student groups share their tips. Available shared rooms are often posted by the community.

• Use Your Network: Sometimes the solution is right next to you. Don’t hesitate to talk about your housing search with those around you. Friends of friends might offer shared accommodation, or maybe your boss’s daughter rents out one of her house’s rooms?
• Check Specialized Websites: Didn’t know they existed? The real estate landscape isn’t only made up of traditional agencies. Companies specializing in shared living and co-living, like Colivys or La Carte des Colocs, are out there.

If you want independence while sharing a living space with others, whether students or not, consider co-living. Co-living is a community-based housing model where you rent a fully furnished room in a shared living space. Washing machine, dishwasher, bed, mattress, etc.: everything is already there! Co-living is also an economical solution. Each month, your room’s rent includes Wi-Fi and high-speed internet, your share of energy bills, and shared tenant insurance. Conveniently, that’s what we offer at Colivys! Rooms are available in city centers, in popular locations like along the Seine in Paris, near Strasbourg universities, or steps away from La Canebière in Marseille, always close to public transport. Train stations, metro, bus: everything is within a 10-minute walk. Additionally, co-living offers extra services such as a gym, coworking space, cooking classes, and events, all included in your rent.

Booking your room in a shared accommodation or co-living space is a breeze. At Colivys, our website is available in both French and English to make the process easier for you. No matter the language, here are the steps to reach the final stage:

• Filter by city: First, filter the cities where we operate to find the one you’re interested in (e.g., Clamart).

Guide to Clamart neighborhoods

Covering an area of 8 km², the city of Clamart is divided into 7 neighborhoods, each with its own unique appeal depending on what you’re looking for. Here are our three favorites:

• Center: As its name suggests, this is the heart of the city. The bustling city center has largely pedestrianized streets, making shopping more enjoyable. An ecological transition project was implemented here a few years ago, so you’ll find green spaces, shops, and transportation, as well as apartments. If you’re looking for a rental, expect to find many studios or 2/3-room apartments.

• Gare: This neighborhood has been redeveloped over nearly 3 hectares, with new constructions and partial pedestrianization, making it one of the most welcoming areas. Its upscale buildings are perfect for families as they contain multiple rooms. It’s an ideal spot for shared housing because the apartments have several bedrooms, so the rent can be split among all of you. Its proximity to the Transilien line N also allows you to reach Montparnasse in just 10 minutes!
• Le Petit-Clamart: This residential area of the city has more houses with gardens than the neighborhoods mentioned above. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this is the place to be. This area, currently undergoing redevelopment, is located next to Vélizy, a prime location for those working in one of the major companies there.

Practical tips for moving in a co-living accommodation

Transitioning from living with your parents or from a rental to co-living isn’t too difficult. However, you need to pay attention to certain details since you’re no longer alone and in a familiar environment. Here, you share your home with other residents, most of whom are strangers, so everyone needs to adapt to one another.
