What the Community page controls

The Community page helps residents understand whether they will feel comfortable in the home. It can include age range, average age, gender information, community description, and events.

For coliving, community fit can matter as much as room type or price. Accurate community details help residents self-select and reduce mismatched expectations.

Before you start

Prepare these details before editing:

• Current or typical resident age range
• Average resident age, if known
• Gender setup or policy, if applicable
• Community mission, lifestyle, or resident profile
• Regular events or shared activities
• House culture, such as quiet, social, work-focused, student-focused, or mixed

Add age range and average age

Set the minimum and maximum age range if your listing has age requirements. Add the average age of current residents when available so applicants can judge fit.

Only use age requirements when they reflect a real policy or operating model. If the age mix changes often, use a typical range rather than an exact promise.

Gender settings and ratio

Choose the gender setting that matches your policy and current setup. If the page asks for a gender ratio, use it only when it reflects how the community is managed.

Keep this factual and current. Residents use this information to understand fit, comfort, and expectations before applying.

Community description

Describe the community, mission, typical residents, lifestyle, and shared expectations. Be specific and honest.

Useful details include:

• Whether residents are mostly students, remote workers, founders, interns, or mixed
• Whether the home is quiet, social, structured, or independent
• How often residents interact
• Whether community managers organize activities
• What kind of resident usually thrives there

Good example:

• Residents are usually remote workers and young professionals staying for several months. The house is social but respectful, with weekly dinners and quiet hours after 10pm.

Community events

Select events you actually offer regularly, such as dinners, workshops, sports, outings, or networking.

Do not select events that are only aspirational. If events vary by season or depend on occupancy, describe that honestly in the community copy.

Keeping it current

Update this page when the resident mix, events, or community policies change.

Community information can become outdated quickly. Review it when the house changes format, launches new events, changes resident rules, or starts targeting a different resident profile.

Common mistakes to avoid

Avoid these issues before saving:

• Making the community sound more active than it is
• Listing events that rarely happen
• Using old age or gender information
• Describing an ideal resident instead of the real resident mix
• Omitting important expectations such as quiet hours or shared responsibilities
• Copying the same community text across different homes with different cultures

What to review before saving

Before you move to the next listing step, check that:

• Age and resident mix are accurate
• Gender information reflects the real setup or policy
• Community description matches daily life in the home
• Events are actually offered
• Expectations are clear and welcoming

Honest community information helps residents find the right fit and improves the quality of applications.
