Why is coliving your best housing choice in Paris?
The coliving Paris model was specifically engineered to solve the unique challenges faced by students, young professionals, remote workers, and anyone relocating to the city. It’s for individuals who value their private space but crave the unique experiences and networking opportunities that come from a shared environment.
Coliving directly addresses the three biggest hurdles of living in Paris: the high price of living, the need for simplicity in a complex rental market, and the desire for genuine comfort and quality of life.
No more bad surprises: an all-inclusive price for your peace of mind
One of the most stressful parts of renting in Paris is the unpredictable cost. In a classic apartment or colocation, the advertised base rent is just the beginning. You then have to juggle separate bills for electricity (like EDF), water, internet service, building fees, local taxes, and renter’s insurance. These “bad surprises” can quickly add up, easily adding 20-30% to your monthly costs and derailing your budget.
Coliving in Paris eliminates this financial anxiety. The philosophy is built on total transparency and simplicity.
- Zero Hidden Fees: Your rent is one single, predictable payment. This all-inclusive price covers everything. It includes your private, high-quality furnished room (often with a comfortable bed and, in many cases, your own private bathroom), comprehensive renter’s insurance, all utilities (water, electricity, heating), and the non-negotiable, business-grade high-speed Wi-Fi that is essential for your work and studies.
- A Mastered Budget: By bundling all these services into one monthly payment, you gain complete control and total visibility over your expenses. You know exactly what you’re paying from day one, with no shocking utility bills in the winter. This financial predictability is the secret to a serene student life or a successful start to your professional career in France, allowing you to enjoy Paris without constant financial stress.
Access common spaces designed for you: the luxury of a large residence
This is precisely where the coliving Paris model truly distinguishes itself from any other rental option. Your rent doesn’t just cover your private room; it unlocks a lifestyle. You gain full access to a vast array of premium collective spaces—amenities that would be prohibitively expensive, if not impossible, to secure in a standard individual apartment in Paris.
At Ecla, these spaces are meticulously designed to support every facet of your life:
- For Work and Study: Expansive co-working areas, quiet libraries, and private bookable study rooms provide the perfect, professional environment for absolute concentration. Say goodbye to working from your bed or searching for a seat in a crowded café.
- For Body and Mind: We believe in holistic well-being. Our residences feature state-of-the-art fitness centers, dedicated yoga and wellness spaces, a boxing ring, and even an outdoor city-stadium for team sports.
- For Social Life and Leisure: This is where community blossoms. Unwind in the designer “chillrooms,” cook a gourmet meal with new friends in the professional-grade communal kitchens, lay down a track in the music studios, or host a movie night with friends in a private cinebox. Every room is thoughtfully designed to enhance your living experience.
To put this into perspective, Ecla’s coliving Paris residences are not small, converted buildings. They are large-scale, purpose-built campuses, often with over 1000 beds per site. This scale allows us to dedicate thousands of square meters to these exceptional common areas, offering a quality of life and a range of opportunities that traditional housing simply cannot match.
