Urban living can be demanding and stressful. You want to minimize expenses, you want to belong in a good community and you want space. To afford and accommodate all these demands, you have decided on coliving in the center of Los Angeles. The next step is to choose where to rent a place. Here are some guidelines on what to consider when choosing a reliable Coliving in Los Angeles.
Location:
Location is a very important factor to consider when choosing a place to live in LA. You want to be near your work/school and it needs to be accessible. Research has linked long commutes to a host of negative health impactslike stress and exposure to pollution. It takes time away from aspects of life that lead to better quality of living.Long-term stress and fatigue from everyday commutes can be avoided by choosing a great location that is close to work/school, offers nearby public transportations and is accessible to groceries, restaurants, banks and other basic establishments.
Security:
After identifying a location where you want to live, make sure that the area is safe. This will create peace of mind for your personal safety and your belongings. Make the necessary security checks. Visit the location of your choice and check the surroundings. Do your research about the area.
Facilities and Amenities:
The physical dwelling — both common area and private space — is important as this is where you will be spending most of your time when you are away from work and other activities. It is important that your Coliving Space in Los Angeles provides you with all the amenities that you need. You should consider the quality of common area spaces like the kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry facilities and other offerings like media room or outdoor spaces. Sleeping area and bathroom, needless to say, are also important things to consider. These spaces should be inspected for cleanliness, functionality and operability which should be regularly maintained by a good coliving company.
Community:
It is important that you are surrounded by like-minded, amiable individuals with whom you will enjoy spending your time. Learn a little about the residents living in your chosen coliving space and interact with them before commiting. Living in a city means a busy, high demanding life and you would want to come home to a group of individuals you identify with and genuinely like. This will de-stress you from the chaos and busy lifestyle you lead during the work/school day.
Price:
Let’s talk about money. Urban living in a good, safe city location and in a residence with modern facilities can be very expensive. You have a budget to consider and price is always a practical consideration. The good news about coliving is that you share costs with other members within the community but there could be a wide range of prices among different coliving operators. When evaluating cost and value, make sure you factor in all costs (sometimes ‘hidden’ and disguised by the coliving operator as membership fees, service fees, etc.) so that you are making an informed ‘apples to apples’ comparison.
Reliability:
When the checklist has been marked, make sure that the company you choose cherishes its clients and strives to do better every day. Your coliving home should be able to meet your requirements and provide a quality living space. In addition to the physical space, you want assurance that the coliving provider has objectives centered around the community and its members. You want assurance that they will be responsive when issues arise and that they are committed to providing a safe and fulfilling experience for everyone.
