For some years now, co-living has been one of the new trends in the rental market, especially in the university sector.
But what does co-living means?
This term refers to a form of cohabitation between students where the accommodations are accompanied by common areas (gym, auditorium, dining areas, private parking, co-working, etc.) and by a range of shared services (home restaurant and home laundry, concierge, pay app, digital community, locker network, wi-fi network, bike and car sharing, etc.)
This is not a passing fashion but a form of housing that is increasingly sought after because it allows not only to save but to create real communities of people who share ideas, spaces and values. This is how co-living experiences are born where the individual student finds himself immersed in a context of people who want to socialize. Study, relaxation and fun combine to create a comfortable and stimulating atmosphere. Starting from 2015, the first examples of co-living were born in the United Stated and subsequently there was an expansion also in Europe and Italy. The Italian university context shows a market made up of about 700,000 off-site university students who, for 90%, choose to enter into a contract with a private individual because colleges and university residences cover only 10% of requests.
