Should I Choose a Co-Living Arrangement for My Next Home?

 
For many people, co-living can be a great choice. If you want to live and work in a big city, save a lot of money on a luxury apartment, and keep things as simple as possible, then the co-living communities can make a lot of sense for you. They aren’t available in smaller areas yet, but the trend is growing as an affordable way to have luxury living and not have to worry about missing out on all the fun or finding your own roommate.
 
However, if you decide that you would like to live and work outside of one of the major United States cities, then you will find that the co-living arrangement is not going to be available to you, even if this is something you would like to do. These areas do not provide a co-living arrangement at this time.
 
If you are comparing a co-living arrangement to a traditional apartment, there are a few things to consider to help you make a smart decision. These include:
 
# Do you want to live in one of the bigger cities in the country?
# What luxury amenities are the most important to you and which ones are you fine living without? This can help you narrow down potential apartments faster than before.
# What is the highest amount that you can afford for your rent each month? Remember that most landlords want your income to be at least three times higher than the monthly rent.
# Are you comfortable having to share some of the communal spaces available? Is this something you would rather not do?
 
In the end, co-living can be beneficial, but for some people, having a traditional apartment can be a better fit. It can depend on where you live or want to live, your income, and whether you want to share all of that space with someone else. Don’t rush into either of the two options. You need to look at how your lifestyle will work with each one and what options they can provide for you and then make an informed decision that works for your needs.
