Ready to upgrade to your next accommodation? Our co-living house is looking for new tenants!

If you are looking for a peaceful and quiet location to live, but with a lot of facilities and like-minded people around, this house has a lot to offer.
Living in a community of young professionals is a way to avoid paying a high price for a private apartment, and to avoid social isolation, while having the benefits of living a in a relatively big house and meeting like-minded people who are in a similar face of their lives.

Our co-living house, or “shared living community”, combines a private bedroom with communal living facilities: shared kitchen and living room, and a small garden, to enjoy fresh air and the sun.

Each person living in the house has its own private room, perfectly formed for moments of solitude or your own private moments. The bedrooms have a big window that can be opened to keep fresh air coming in.
The bedrooms share the bathrooms. Every month a cleaning professional comes to clean the common area including the bathrooms.

For your social moments, you just enter the living room to find other people that are happy for a talk, watch some Netflix, or cook a meal together.
Live together as you build your career in Rotterdam. Our community will give you a kick start of your professional career in the city.

This neighborhood is known to be family-friendly and has attracted a lot of young people; the average age being between 25 and 44 years old.
The surroundings of the house are very green and peaceful and offer a lot of open space, green areas and water.
The house is easily reachable and has a lot of facilities like restaurants, shops and a supermarket within walking distance. With the house located a few minutes’ walk from metro line C, you will benefit from a short commute to the heart of Rotterdam.

For those owning a car: the house has a private parking spot, and there is enough parking space in the surrounding neighborhood as well.

COMMUNITY:

The house functions as a co-living community, or in Dutch "huishouden". - The idea is that you live as a group of friends together, almost like a family. Think of the TV-serie "Friends".
- that means, your group has the intention to live for a longer term in this house, not just a few months.
- to have dinners each other (not every day, but regularly, like in a family).
- to do regularly social activities together with the housemates, like visiting a museum, watching a movie, etc.
- to have 1 bank account with the house, for the shared expenses. Expenses like salt, pepper, cleaning liquids, etc.
- The things to avoid is distancing: to avoid individualistic people who have completely separated lives and have no idea about their other housemates. Each housemates likes their privacy too, and their own friends, but the house is also like a community; just like in a family: brothers & sisters living together but also having their own lives & own privacy.

DISTANCES:

- in the Netherlands, public transport is in good condition: the connections are great, the reach is far, and the transport is safe.
On top of that, the bike is a very popular way of getting around the city, because it is safe and quick. Using the bike is safe, because basically every car road, has a separate bike road "fietspad". Just google for yourself "fietspad", and you can see the images of a Dutch bike road. A car is hardly used by students, and working people are also using their cars less and less. Even the Dutch prime minster goes by bike to his work! (you can google the images of that too :-)
- Supermarkets: Albert Heijn (350 meters), Aldi (800 meters).
- Sportclub: Anytime Fitness (300 meters).

NOT FOR PARTYING:

Please note: this neighborhood is a residential neighborhood: your neighbors will be families, so it's a quiet neighborhood. Furthermore, please note that the metro/bus stops operating at 00:30 am. You should take a taxi/uber or the bike back after a night out.
Therefore, it is not the right thing to have parties in the house. Partying you can do in the city center. The house is excellent for people that enjoy a quiet environment and a peaceful life.

--
NOT FOR WORKING FROM HOME:
It is not allowed to work from home from the living room in this house: the idea is to have a relaxed vibe in the living area, and working from your laptop in the living room is not part of that. You can work from your bedroom, that is allowed, however, given the space of the bedrooms (see pictures) it will not be a nice environment to work there 8+ hours a day. It is therefore adviced to work from an office.
