Co-living is the simplest, most social way to live in Vancouver. You get your own private furnished bedroom in a managed shared home, alongside 4–6 vetted housemates from around the world, and you share a fully-equipped kitchen and living room. Everything runs on one all-in payment — rent covers Wi-Fi, all utilities, and weekly cleaning, so there are no separate hydro or internet bills. A dedicated house manager looks after the home and our team answers on WhatsApp 24/7 in your language. Our homes sit near UBC, SFU, and BCIT in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Burnaby, and Coal Harbour. Compared with signing a year-long lease and furnishing an empty apartment on your own, co-living is far more affordable, far less hassle, and comes with a built-in circle of friends from the day you arrive. We've been placing newcomers in Vancouver homes since 2016.

Our co-living homes are chosen for real transit access, not just postcode. Here's roughly how long you'll travel from our neighborhoods.
Every neighborhood is chosen for transit, safety, and walkable amenities. Here's what co-living looks like in each.
Closest to UBC · beaches & the 99 B-Line
"Kits" is the classic student-and-beach neighborhood — volleyball on the water, cafés on West 4th, and a 10–15 minute express bus to UBC. Our Kits co-living homes are character houses with big shared kitchens and 4–6 bedrooms, so there's always someone around to walk to the beach or the library with. They fill fastest each September, so book early.
Central, creative, best value for co-living
Mount Pleasant is Vancouver's most central-yet-affordable neighborhood — breweries, Main Street's design shops, and quick transit to BCIT, Emily Carr, and downtown. Our co-living homes here are the best value in the city and the most social, drawing housemates from every campus. This is where most first-time arrivals start.
On the SkyTrain, near SFU routes
Burnaby gives you the most space for your money and direct SkyTrain access to SFU and downtown. Our co-living homes here are detached houses, often with parking and large common areas for house dinners. Ideal for SFU and BCIT housemates who want quiet, cost, and a clean transit line in. Metrotown's mall and food court are minutes away.
Downtown co-living, seawall on your doorstep
Coal Harbour is downtown Vancouver at its most polished — glass towers, the seawall, and Stanley Park a walk away. Our co-living rooms here suit co-op students and young professionals who want to be in the core, share a modern condo-style home, and walk to work. A premium option, but unbeatable for downtown campuses and internships.

"I moved into a Mount Pleasant co-living house not knowing anyone in Vancouver. Within a week my housemates felt like friends — we cook together most nights. One payment, no bills to chase, and the house manager sorts anything that breaks."
"As a co-op student I only needed four months, so a year lease made no sense. Co-living was furnished, all-in, and I met people from five countries in my house. Best decision of my Vancouver term."

Everything is bundled into one monthly payment. Your all-in rent covers your private furnished bedroom, Wi-Fi, all utilities (heat, hydro, water), and weekly cleaning of the shared kitchen, living room, and bathrooms. It also covers your house manager and 24/7 WhatsApp support. There are no separate hydro, internet, or cleaning bills — the number you see is the number you pay each month.
You'll share your home with 4–6 housemates — a mix of international students, new arrivals, and young professionals from around the world. Everyone is screened before move-in: we verify ID, confirm their reason for being in Vancouver (study or work), and check references. We aim for a friendly, respectful house, and the house manager sets shared expectations from day one, so you're not moving in blind with strangers off a classifieds site.
Most co-living rooms use a shared bathroom — typically one bathroom for every two to three housemates, cleaned weekly as part of your rent. Some homes have rooms with a private ensuite for a higher monthly rate. Each room listing states clearly whether the bathroom is private or shared, so you know exactly what you're getting before you book. Tell us your preference and we'll match you accordingly.
Most Vancouver co-living rooms have a 3-month minimum. After the first three months you can leave with 30 days' notice, which suits students on a single semester, co-op terms, and professionals on short contracts. There's no year-long lease to sign and no need to find a replacement tenant yourself — just give notice and go.
Renting your own apartment in Vancouver usually means a year lease, a full damage deposit, buying furniture, and setting up hydro and internet in your own name — often $2,000+ a month before bills. Co-living starts at CAD$975/month fully furnished and all-in, with no setup, a short minimum stay, and a ready-made social life. It's the lowest-friction way to land in Vancouver, especially if you're new to the city or arriving from abroad.
