So you’re thinking about co-living. Maybe you’re new to Melbourne, between leases, or curious about this way of life. Whatever it is, it’s led you to the right place (here)!
And no, co-living isn’t just another fancy way of naming a hostel or the more approachable version of a hotel. Think of it as a lifestyle of its own, where a friendly community shares amazing spaces together to live, work, and play, and you can still have your privacy!
But before you commit, here are just a handful of things worth knowing:
Making Friends is Way Easier Than You Think
Probably one of the biggest worries about moving into a co-living space is the awkward vibes. But honestly – you’ll pretty much find none of that at Together Co-Living!
Friendships tend to happen naturally through our shared amenities and community events. So you could just bump into someone in the kitchen, hang out after work, or strike up a convo at the communal areas. Be social or as lowkey as you’d like! Some people show up for every event, while others can just be a passing friendly face. No pressure, no forced socialising, just good vibes!
You Don’t Need to Haul Your Whole Life With You
Good news for those who always dread moving days: your room comes fully furnished, and that includes the bedding! No shopping, no fuss, no checklists, no stress, and no breaking your back trying to move furniture around. You just need the stuff that gives you that extra homey touches: clothes, toiletries, laptop or work gear, or even your favourite mug!
Your Space is Your Space
This is how co-living stands out from hostels and house shares – yes, you share common areas and facilities, but you get the privacy from your very own fully furnished studio and bathroom. It’s the best of both worlds: privacy when you want it, and community when you’ve got the mood for it. Introverts, we see you.
No Memberships Needed
Need a gym? A pool? Social spaces – yes, you can have them all, without the pricey membership fees on the side. When you’re co-living, everything comes included. No extras, long commutes, and fewer excuses to get your workout in.
Perfect for WFH or Remote Workers
If you’re studying, freelancing, juggling a hybrid schedule, or fully embracing that remote work life, this is the perk that matters. Co-living also means co-working, with dedicated areas designed for you to lock in and get things done. This means your personal space stays personal, and productivity isn’t limited to just a random table in the corner.
Life Here is Actually Flexible
Another plus point to co-living: flexible bookings. You won’t need to worry about long commitments and get locked into a 12-month lease to secure a space. Stay for a week or up to 44 weeks – it’s all good, with rates depending on your length of stay. And if plans change, just extend it!
We Take Care Of the Housekeeping
Let’s get real, cleaning is no one’s passion. That’s why weekly housekeeping is also included in your bill. Your pace gets refreshed on the regular, so you can finally say goodbye to weekends spent scrubbing, mopping, or arguing over whose turn it is. This means more time for brunch, outings, naps, or all of them.
It’s Safe
Safety always comes first, especially if you’re new to the city or living solo. Peace of mind should be the priority, that’s why Together Co-Living offers onsite security and a 24-hour front desk. There’s always someone around if you need help or get accidentally locked out. Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us.
You Can Come With Your Team
Co-living isn’t just for solo movers, you can even book as a group of friends, with your partner, or colleagues you actually like. With great group rates available, it’s a pretty solid option if you want shared experiences without actually sharing everything.
Co-Living Works for Everyone
There’s no such thing as a “co-living resident”. Be it students, singles, couples, digital nomads, business travellers, or gap year folks, you’ll find people from all walks of life here. It’s just about having a place to belong and feel at home away from home. If flexibility, convenience, and genuine connections are your thing – you’ll fit right in.
At the end of the day, co-living isn’t about giving things up. It’s just a simpler and more natural way of living in a new place, meeting people, and having a space that goes with your flow. If you’re looking for less hassle and more balance in your stay, this just might be the move you didn’t know you needed.
Together Co-Living offers private rooms that actually feel like home, in a large coliving space with amazing facilities as well as the best community to share them with. Find your next home at Together Co-Living.
