What is Co-Living?

Co-living spaces are shared accommodations where individuals rent a private room while sharing common facilities such as kitchens, lounges, and work areas. Unlike traditional rentals, they provide a sense of community while being cost-effective.

Why Co-Living Works in Mumbai

  • Affordability: Splitting costs reduces rent burden in expensive localities.

  • Convenience: Fully furnished spaces with Wi-Fi, cleaning, and utilities included.

  • Flexibility: Short-term leases appeal to mobile professionals.

  • Community: Networking and socializing are built into the living experience.

Locations Popular for Co-Living

  • Powai & Andheri: Close to IT parks and corporate hubs.

  • BKC & Lower Parel: Young professionals prefer central business districts.

  • Chembur & Ghatkopar: Affordable yet well-connected neighborhoods.

Impact on Traditional Rentals

Co-living is drawing younger tenants away from standalone flats, putting pressure on landlords to upgrade offerings.
