Intelligent shared living: more than having roommates
Coliving is a housing model where professionals share common spaces but have private bedrooms with bathrooms. Unlike simply having roommates, coliving includes services like internet, cleaning, utilities, and organized community.
How much does coliving cost?
CDMX Roma/Condesa: $10,000-$22,000 MXN/month. Playa del Carmen: $12,000-$25,000. Guadalajara: $8,000-$16,000. All inclusive. Coliving is 15-30% more economical than renting alone.
Who is coliving ideal for?
Digital nomads, young professionals, newcomers to a city, and freelancers benefit most. Not ideal for couples with children or those needing extensive personal space.
Investing in coliving as a property owner
A 4-bedroom property in Roma Norte generates $40,000-$60,000 MXN monthly as coliving vs. $18,000-$25,000 as a traditional rental. The model requires furnished property, high-speed internet, weekly cleaning, and community management.
