Coliving in the Bacon Home

In shared homes, each resident has their own private bedroom, and all residents in the home share the kitchen, living areas, bathrooms, etc.

Most of our homes are not ideal for pets. However, selected homes do allow pets for an additional monthly fee.

Sure! Couples are welcomed!

A shared apartment means that you will be sharing the common spaces (kitchen, bathroom, and living room) with one or multiple roommates who are also part of the member network and went through background checks and approval.

Safety is the number one priority for us. Every member is fairly vetted and goes through extensive criminal and background checks, as well as a 3-step approval process that includes in-person interviews with our team. A set of strict, yet reasonable rules is enforced in all of our homes. Our members tend to be a mix of creative, hard-working professionals and students. Most members are moving within the same city, though we have many tenants from around the US and world.

The room you will be assigned might differ slightly from the photos but will match the room type. You are booking a room/bed by type, not a specific unit.
