Co-living, like car-pooling and co-working, is the result of demand for more evolved rental housing solutions coming from millennials, students and young working professionals whose choices differ vastly from those of previous generations.
Currently, this new accommodation option is most popular with young and unmarried millennials aged anywhere between 20-30 years. Professionals who don’t live with their families in the city of work are also considering this option.
Co-living provides such individuals with a way to circumvent the isolation and loneliness that is often integral to a hectic, driven urban experience.
While the primary demand for co-living spaces currently comes from such tenants, the concept itself is a lot more ‘accommodating’. In fact, the future may very possibly see demand for co-living solutions coming single seniors, as well.
Cities such as Pune, Bengaluru, Gurgaon, and Mumbai first saw this new concept emerge in force, and it is now also taking root in smaller cities such as Lucknow and Jaipur – basically, in cities with a large student and millennial workforce population.
