Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who are the type of people who usually live in your spaces?

The typical people who live in our spaces are between the ages of 21 and 35; around half are international members and half are American; about 30 percent are students (undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate, or short-term programs); and 70 percent are already in their professional fields, from all different professional backgrounds! The gender breakdown changes all the time, but on average it’s 50-50.

2. How many people are in each house?

It depends on the house, but our houses range from 11 members to 30 members.

3. What’s 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 :)

4. 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. We have Nest security systems in all of our common areas to keep everyone’s valuables safe. These are not monitored, and are only accessed when our members request that we 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.

5. 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 we were allowed to put locks on the doors, we are 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.

6. 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.

7. Animals/Pets?

While we 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.

8. Are couples allowed?

Yes! There is just a $200/month surcharge for couples, or any situation in which two people are sharing a private room.

9. When/how will you refund my security deposit?

Security deposits are refunded within 15 days of departure from our premises. Deposits are returned to the account they were paid with, and this is the only way we 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.

10. How do you create a sense of community?

From our house leaders (who will meet you upon arrival), to the events we 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 you’d like; you are welcome to stay with us either way!

11. Who do you guys use for your cleaning services, and what exactly do they do?

Our cleaning services are all in-house. Our fully employed, trusted team members prepare your room before your stay, then clean all common/shared areas and restock all supplies during your stay.

12. Are pets allowed?

No pets

I cannot recommend this place highly enough! They’ve welcomed all of us travel COVID nurses with open arms! When most are turning us away, they’ve made the relocation process easy and affordable! Thank you!

I stayed at this house for a couple of weeks, but I'd definitely stay more. I was really impressed with how modern and comfortable the house is, it really made me feel home.

This was my second time staying there. I liked the move because I was able to do one of my favorites things in life: Meet more people❤️ And still I could get to see my other housemates in during the events!!(they do events every month) This is best option to me because it has everything I need and that I like. I was living on the 3rd floor in a 3ppl room (the room had good space for the 3 of us) and we would always make dinner or breakfast with my housemates... it wasn’t good, it was great. I liked a lot that the kitchens are very spacious and has big dinner table to share with everyone and also: a great basement! Will never forget the gatherings and the movie nights we had when we were all off work or school!

That was the best-renting experience I had in NYC. As a foreigner, it’s really hard to get approved for apartments (I ended up finding many many scams on Craigslist and even Spare Room), but you can move in without needing a guarantor, etc. Everything is clean, the staff is always on hand to answer questions and above all there are regular social events where you can meet lots of new people. It’s a great way to get to know the city in a safe, fun environment.

I lived at this house 2018-2019, and I don't know what I would've done as a relatively new New Yorker without the people I met there. I had so much social anxiety, and they welcomed me with open arms and patiently waited for me to come out of my shell when I was ready. It's also nice to just never have to worry about paying utilities or buying toilet paper or whatever.

Great coliving house management team who actively try to make the tenant experience exceptional. All my questions and criticisms were take seriously and they worked with me to remedy any problems with the house or with billing issues. Would highly recommend to stay here for anyone needing long-term housing in Brooklyn.

I stayed about 3 months with this place working with the management team and had a great time! These guys are truly dedicated to ensuring their coliving spaces are the best in all of NYC. Comfortable bedrooms, top notch coworking spaces, fun events, great locations close to transit stations, an excellent staff, and nice people are what you are signing up for if you stay here. 5 stars all around. Thank you Sergy and Jacob for an awesome experience. Highly recommended place if you are seeking accommodation in NYC.
