Is Coliving Safe?

Many people come to us with the important question of coliving and its safety. We understand that people usually get skeptical when talking about coliving with random people. Thus, we decided to explain everything you need to know about coliving and its benefits. Let’s get down to it! 

How could coliving be safe, and how can coliving be beneficial in the first place?

Coliving is revolutionizing the way we live in big cities.

It is economically advantageous since it costs less than if you were to rent out a whole house or apartment; thus, if you are on a budget, this could be the perfect option for you. As previously mentioned, the question that often comes to people's minds is whether it is safe.

Now, when it comes to safety, we can assure you that you don't need to be worried since coliving can be safer than living alone in a big city. How? Unlike living alone in a big city, when you choose the coliving option, you have a community of people that you can rely on, and they can rely on you.


As you can already see, safety is a common standard of coliving, and there is nothing to be scared of. The only concern people have is due to the current situation of COVID-19. It makes the whole process a little bit tougher, but that doesn't mean that the era of coliving is over.

If you have concerns within your coliving home just talk to your roommates! This problem can easily be fixed by agreeing to wear masks in common areas or simply washing hands every time you enter the home. 


Here at Alcove, the safety of our residents is our top priority. Each of our residents undergoes a background check before being able to sign a lease with us. We also have an extensive roommate matching system designed to ensure our residents comfort with who they will be sharing a home with.

Each home has a code lock that gets reactivated when someone moves out and each bedroom has its own key to make sure that your private space stays private. We guarantee a safe environment for every one of our residents and if an issue were to arise we always handle it quickly.
