Coliving in Birmingham

Birmingham is the United Kingdom’s second biggest city and the living cost is less than two-thirds of that of London. Rents, especially, are much lower and there are many coliving spaces located here. So it’s no surprise that many young Londoners and remote workers are choosing to stay here. Birmingham also boasts Europe’s largest public library: the new Birmingham Library. It cost over £187 million to build and features a herb garden on the roof. This trendy former industrial city was at the forefront of scientific developments and still attracts international innovative talent with the restored Custard Factory at the center of Birmingham’s creative and digital revolution. Millions of visitors enjoy the city’s rich cultural programme, its sites and its bars every year. One of the main attractions is the famous Cadbury World where you can feel like Charlie in the chocolate factory. Near the city, there are also many quaint towns and villages to explore for a day or a weekend in an Old English setting away from all the hustle and bustle. There is no shortage of fun things to do and see whenever you are in need of taking a break from work.

Finding affordable communal living in Birmingham

Finding affordable housing in Birmingham can be tough, especially in cities with high rent prices. One solution that many people turn to is communal living with shared spaces and roommates. This can be a cost-effective way to have a private room while still being able to afford rent in a desirable location. There are a few different options for finding a shared living arrangement in Birmingham. One option is to look for a private room for rent in a coliving home. This can be a good option for people who want some privacy, but still want to be part of a community. Another option is to look for a shared room, where you'll be sharing a bedroom with one or more roommates. This can be more affordable, as you'll only be responsible for paying for your own bed. The downside is that you'll have less privacy, as you'll be sharing a bedroom with others. You can find both accommodation options on Coliving.com. We can help you find a compatible roommate based on your preferences and lifestyle. Some hosts do background checks and eviction history checks to ensure that the roommates you're living with are trustworthy individuals. When looking for a shared living arrangement, it's important to do your due diligence and make sure that you're comfortable with the living arrangement and the people you'll be living with.
