I'm so grateful for my experience here. Moving to a new city as a foreign person was a daunting prospect. Thanks to Coliving.com I landed in Los Angeles knowing that I had a home and, more importantly, a community ready to welcome me with open arms.It's shared living. Very shared. And of course, that comes with its own pros and cons, but the benefits make it. Beyond cheap rent, you have access to some incredible facilities and a creative network unlike any other. I have huge respect for both Sarah and Jeremiah who have built, and continue to foster, this one-of-a-kind community I'm so thankful to be a part of.New to LA? Looking for something different? Want to find your people in a city of lost souls? This is the place.
What can I say? It is an unbelievable living experience, one where I met so many like minded people, so many friends and artists to collaborate with. With the facilities, the courses they offer, and the rent price, it's definitely a great solution for any creative, social individual. Could not recommend more!!
This is the best place to land when you move to LA and don't know a lot of people. Housemates became my friends and many of them are like family to me now. I learnt many new skills thanks to the free classes and activities, I was able to practise my art and made a lot of collaborations that brought me more job opportunities later. It's a great transition and it also allowed me to invest my money into my art (classes, headshots, casting websites...) instead of spending it all into the rent. I spent more than a year at Upstart and keep recommending it as it's a wonderful experience that I'll never forget!
I’m a very hard worker and entrepreneur and will sacrifice anything for my art and career.
This was not a random pit stop for me between places. It was me looking for the best thing I could do to further my career. And it ended up paying off.
I came from Australia so didn’t know a single soul in LA. But moving in for four months across the Hobart and Van Ness houses ended up being a jackpot. Originally I was thinking of finding a room or private apartment somewhere - and only now do I realize how shortsighted that was.
Living with, being around, and having access to someone in the entertainment industry in LA is the most valuable asset you have. So when you times that by hundreds and hundreds of people in their network - that’s what you’re paying for. For me, they could really be 4x the price and I’d still pay it.
At this point, I think between the houses there are 300-400 members and 500-600 alumni. Which… when you think about the impact that even one single connection in LA can have on your career - it’s kind of mind-blowing. And that’s not even taking into account everyone’s own individual networks. I generally found that whatever I needed, if I asked for it, I got it.
For example, I found myself going to networking events with other members (an “I’ll go if you go” type scenario) which resulted in me having meetings with managers, producers, labels, A&R - the works. And if I was sitting in a room by myself, none of that would have happened. In fact, there are hundreds of things that would never have happened if I hadn’t been connected to and pushed by the community.
As for the personal space - you need to be able to find that within yourself. I never had an issue. Some houses are set up for it better than others - Van Ness has a decent sized backyard with trees so I would always sit outside in the hammock each morning to get myself together for the day. But Hobart was moderately intimate so I would make sure I left the house each day to get a coffee or work from an office offsite, so I could find my serenity.
But to be honest, if anyone can’t sacrifice a bit of personal space for their career, given the hundred other benefits they’re clearly not serious about their career anyway. Most of the world lives in confined conditions, so if someone’s being precious about that, especially in LA, then this is probably not the city for them in the first place. Personally I’m willing to do what it takes. In hindsight, a smaller amount of personal space seems almost seems too insignificant to even mention, given how much further in my career this host has taken me.
Most of my new friends had been there around a year to a year and a half. At the moment I’m back in Australia for a couple of months, but otherwise, at this point, I can’t ever see myself leaving. If you’re serious about your career, it’s the way to go. No questions asked.
I actually struggle to endorse it enough. Because I can’t even really put into words all of the ways it’s changed my life and career. And at this point, I’m so used to turning on Netflix and seeing members on Grey’s Anatomy, or seeing billboards and advertising campaigns and songs that members have created or been a part of.
I struggle to find the words to endorse them enough. But just know that if you’re serious about your career, this is the most beneficial and productive move you will ever make!
I lived in this house for a year and a half, and I can easily say it was the best start to my journey in LA.I moved here with barely any money, no friends, or even a place to sleep. When I landed I found a hostel for a few nights and found Coliving.com. They gave me a tour of a property and the rest is history.This place brings people together from all walks of life that have one thing in common, they put their passion above all else. I’ve worked with so many talented musicians, photographers, actors, comedians, visual artists, just to name a few.It was a rollercoaster, I experienced all the highs and lows you can think of, and I’m a better person because of it. This is COMMUNITY LIVING so if you aren’t prepared to make compromises be wary. I made some of my best friends, and met my current roommates here.If you’re a creative and crazy enough to move to this city not knowing anyone, or anything about LA, come here. Everybody here is just trying to make it in this city, and I honestly think there is no better place to be for an up and coming artist.
This place is unorganized and dirty and breeds chaos and no privacy. The bathroom and other common areas are dirty.
It was an overall amazing experience. I met talented souls who helped me grow in my craft. The staff and managers where very accommodating and helpful. Looking forward to returning soon!
Moved to Los Angeles from the East Coast and found this coliving right away. Honestly I have no clue what would have happened if I didn't find them and had to move out here knowing no one. Within a week I had more connections and friends than I would have had after three months of being here by myself. I've been out here for a year and a half now and I lived here for the first 11 months. All of my closest friends here are from the same home. You immediately have a family when you move in and they're all out here for similar reasons as you! It becomes very easy to create in an environment like this especially since the houses have LOADS of equipment that you can use. All of those things are great but the added bonus of having very affordable, month to month rent is also unparalleled. If you're moving out here, this should be one of your first two choices.
This was a great start for me coming to LA. I didn't really know a lot of people and coliving instantly gives you a community of artists, super creative people who you can connect to, collaborate and build friendships with. I had an amazing time, and met such amazing people. You have to be down to live in a community. They offer super cool classes and they have amenities you can use, as well as several recording studios in different houses. That was for me super important and I am grateful for the time I spent living here. I made some really good friends, and grew on so many levels!
