THE BABEL COMMUNITY offers with its Coliving residences, a new housing experience centred on the user and adapted to the evolution of lifestyles. A ready-to-live-in home, ultra-equipped, connected and still very accessible, within a hybrid building. A building in which friendly and shared spaces are deployed: coworking, restaurant, gym… All accompanied by services and events!
But you probably already knew that. You’ve probably done your research on Coliving, listened to the testimonials of our Colivers, visited our spaces or even read articles on the concept… However, some questions remain, and you’re still asking yourself the question: Is Coliving right for me?
In this article we present you with the 5 things you need to know before taking the plunge and trying the Coliving experience in our residences in Marseille, Grenoble and Montpellier.
Aspiring to a new way of life
The first question to ask yourself before embarking on the coliving adventure is whether you are ready to change your lifestyle?
Indeed, coliving is a real alternative to traditional renting as it is a shared living arrangement. Aimed at a more nomadic generation, this model, halfway between a hotel and a shared apartment, is a new rental offer that combines private and shared spaces. A flexible solution for a generation that prefers experience to possession.
If you are looking for an urban oasis in the city centre where you can live, work, eat, play sports and meet people, you have come to the right place!
Being sociable and willing to talk
The second most important question for a future coliver is whether you are a sociable person. Urban life is sometimes synonymous with isolation. Coliving is above all based on the idea of sharing and working together.
At Babel, there are many opportunities to share and create social links. On the one hand, the private space is just as well cared for as the common spaces are numerous and designed for meetings: relaxation areas, restaurant, gym, cinema club, etc. On the other hand, we organise events every week so that our community can meet: colivers and coworkers aperitifs, creative workshops, afterwork, etc. Community spirit is the priority of our teams, made up of residence managers and happiness officers.
Are you looking to integrate and bond quickly when you move to a new city? Welcome home ! And if you feel like isolating yourself, you can simply return to the private space of your flat to recharge your batteries.
Be a fan of freedom and flexibility
You don’t like to make a long-term commitment to the same place? Then coliving is for you. Are you just passing through a city?
At Babel, you can adapt your rental period: 1 month, several weeks or even a year… You are free to choose! We offer you turnkey accommodation with a flexible contract and without obligation to adapt to your lifestyle. Book your flat online and move in within 24 hours. Are you already leaving? An email and a visit with the residence manager and you’re back on the road. Indeed, our flats are specially designed for nomadic people who want to move regularly. For this purpose, our flats are equipped with all the necessary furniture: US fridge, dishwasher, oven, washing machine, tumble dryer… Each square meter is designed for the use of its occupants.
With coliving, you will find your flexibility to feel free as a bird!
Keep time for what really matters
Opting for coliving means choosing to live in a shared, hyper-connected building that has an ecosystem of services and leisure activities to simplify your daily life.
Do you have to deal with the administrative side of things? Don’t worry, as soon as you arrive in your home everything is ready. All you have to do is put your bags down! Internet, water, electricity, furniture, household appliances, home automation… We take care of everything, so you can concentrate on the essentials.
Also, throughout your stay, many top-of-the-range services at very attractive rates are offered to you. Need a cleaning? Want to take part in a sports class? Or simply order your meal to go? All our services are available and bookable from the dedicated Members application.
Love dynamic places
Tired of the metro/work/sleep routine? Don’t hesitate, coliving is adapted to your situation!
Coliving is the opportunity to live in a plug & play, design and ultra-equipped flat, but it is also the opportunity to live in a large residence of more than 4000m², where there is always something going on. From big events like the designer market to the distribution of organic baskets every Thursday, to hedbo sports classes and the traditional happy hour.
Also, you can (tele)work in the coworking space at the foot of the building, have your meetings in one of the meeting rooms and then go upstairs to relax in your room or studio. More than just offices, they are an opportunity to progress, share and create your network.
