Have you ever wondered who your companions would be in a coliving space? The first colivers were young professionals who moved to Silicon Valley for work and chose this communal living model. Since then, coliving has expanded to many other cities and demographics. So, it’s only natural to ask, is there a typical coliver profile today? And if so, what does it look like?
In short, today’s colivers are young professionals with international backgrounds, working in tech or as digital nomads, seeking flexibility and community above all else.
Young People
The primary users of coliving are millennials and Generation Z, adults currently between 22 and 38 years old. These young people are increasingly mobile and demand that housing adapt to their needs. In fact, it is expected that 86% of Millennials will change cities at least twice in the next 10 years.
Coliving provides these generations with the flexibility they need and surrounds them with a community that helps them meet new people and quickly integrate into a new city.
International Profile
Colivers are passionate about travel and discovering new cultures. For them, coliving offers an easy way to connect with the local community and facilitates a smooth transition into a new country, typically for periods ranging from a few months to a year.
At Aticco Living, our community of colivers includes people from up to 26 different nationalities! Can you imagine a better environment for learning new languages or traditions?
Tech Talent and Digital Nomads
An increasing number of digital nomads, remote workers, freelancers, and startup employees are opting for coliving. These professionals seek an easy living solution in the most attractive locations without long-term commitments or the need to invest in furniture or appliances.
Barcelona, where Aticco Living offers around 500 spots, ranks among the top 4 most attractive European destinations for digital professionals, only behind Berlin, Amsterdam, and London, according to a recent Boston Consulting Group (BCG) study. This explains why in 2021, Aticco Living achieved 100% occupancy.
Seeking Community
Community life also addresses one of the 21st century’s significant issues: the feeling of loneliness. 66% of people under 35 admit to often feeling lonely.
In this context, colivers are curious, eager to learn, and want to engage in community life alongside peers of the same age group with whom they can share experiences.
To strengthen this sense of community, at Aticco Living, our colivers enjoy weekly community events such as terrace meals, themed parties, talks, workshops, and sports sessions.
