        \"L'ambianceWhile <\/span>coliving<\/b> and <\/span>flatsharing <\/b>might seem similar on paper, there are actually some notable differences between the two.<\/span><\/p>

        Forget about just sharing a kitchen or <\/span>bathroom<\/b>: <\/span>coliving <\/b>offers much more than that. The very principle of coliving is based on <\/span>sharing <\/b>and <\/span>independence<\/b>. You might wonder how these two can be combined? We have the answer! While most coliving <\/span>accommodations <\/b>provide <\/span>rooms with private bathrooms<\/b>, they also offer communal areas where tenants can gather, interact, and get to know each other. Terraces, rooftops, gardens, <\/span>communal rooms<\/b> with games, and <\/span>coworking spaces<\/b> are just a few of the living areas that distinguish coliving from traditional <\/span>flatsharing<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        Unlike <\/span>flatsharing<\/b>, <\/span>coliving <\/b>offers a complete package. Targeted towards young professionals in transition, students, freelancers, or young permanent employees, coliving adapts to their needs. So, there’s no need to subscribe to a six-month<\/span> internet plan<\/b> or earn three times the monthly <\/span>rent<\/b>. <\/span>Coliving <\/b>is the simplest way to have a home in no time. If you fit this profile, know that coliving is as flexible as you are. Whether you want to stay in your <\/span>accommodation <\/b>for 3, 6, 12 months, or longer, you’re sure to find the coliving space that’s right for you. And most importantly, it’s the most practical way to <\/span>meet people who are both different and similar to you<\/b> at one of the events organized by the agency or company managing your coliving space. So, here\u2019s to new friends and maybe more \ud83e\udd70<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

        \"|\"If you’re still undecided between <\/span>traditional renting<\/b>, <\/span>flatsharing<\/b>, or <\/span>coliving<\/b>, we have answers to your questions\u2014or at least, insights to help you make your decision.<\/span><\/p>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        Let’s be honest, if you don’t like <\/span>community living<\/b> to the point it repels you, then coliving might not be for you. But if you’ve ended up on our site, it\u2019s likely because you enjoy being surrounded by people and <\/span>community life <\/b>doesn\u2019t scare you. This is actually one of coliving’s main attractions. We mentioned earlier: events of all kinds can be organized by the managing company so that tenants from different backgrounds and <\/span>coliving <\/b>environments can meet and share moments together.<\/span><\/p>

        That’s not the only benefit. Your finances stay healthy because you don’t have to add all the extra expenses typically associated with <\/span>traditional renting<\/b> such as utility account setups, internet service installations,<\/span> home insurance<\/b>, or even furnishing the place\u2014which can add up, especially if you’re only staying short-term. With Colivys, you enter into a <\/span>furnished community living arrangement<\/b> where everything is<\/span> included in your monthly rent<\/b>!<\/span><\/p>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        Another <\/span>advantage <\/b>of <\/span>coliving <\/b>with <\/span>Colivys <\/b>is proximity to everyday conveniences. Because your comfort is our priority, we ensure our coliving homes are located in city centers, just minutes away from subways, buses, commuter trains, and trams. This allows you to enjoy your <\/span>new life<\/b> without spending hours commuting and to easily grab food, dine out, or go shopping in no time.<\/span><\/p>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        Coliving<\/b>, like other lifestyles, isn\u2019t for everyone, that’s for sure. However, what we can say is that many people enjoy their experience. Indeed, when arriving from a foreign country or even a <\/span>distant city<\/b>, it can be challenging to find your bearings, discover the right spots, and make friends, especially if you’re working alone. But with coliving, you have your anchor point.<\/span><\/p>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        Whether in <\/span>Paris<\/b>, <\/span>Strasbourg<\/b>, <\/span>Lyon<\/b>, or <\/span>Bordeaux<\/b>, many former tenants have expressed their joy in choosing <\/span>coliving <\/b>for their Erasmus semester or to kickstart their active life. By participating in various afterworks organized, they were able to <\/span>meet <\/b>the Colivys teams, seek valuable daily life advice, and <\/span>share great moments<\/b>. Moments that extended beyond these events, forging real friendships and sometimes even more. Some of our <\/span>residents <\/b>decided to start a life together\u2014some even got married!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        In recent <\/span>years<\/b>, coliving has been expanding throughout <\/span>France<\/b>, in both <\/span>major cities<\/b> and their <\/span>surrounding areas<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

        At Colivys, we have chosen to establish ourselves solely in France’s <\/span>major cities<\/b>: <\/span>Paris<\/b>, <\/span>Lyon<\/b>, <\/span>Marseille<\/b>, Toulouse, <\/span>Nantes<\/b>, Strasbourg, <\/span>Bordeaux<\/b>, Lille, and Grenoble. Why? Because these are the cities where young professionals settle to start their careers. These are tense zones; the<\/span> real estate market is tough<\/b>. <\/span>Housing <\/b>is scarce and very expensive. <\/span>Cities <\/b>are bustling, and it can be difficult to meet new people. <\/span>Coliving <\/b>serves as a connector among all these <\/span>individuals <\/b>who are just looking to spend wonderful <\/span>months <\/b>in the city of their choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Whether it\u2019s a <\/span>house with a garden<\/b> and gym or an apartment with an incredible rooftop terrace, all types of properties are available in coliving to meet the needs and expectations of the colivers.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
