Guide
Finding coliving in Arnhem
Looking for coliving or a shared living community in Arnhem? Find out how much the group does together. Discuss shared spaces, household responsibilities and residents’ independence so you can choose a community that suits you.
Consider the location too. Are you looking around the centre, in the Spijkerkwartier or Klarendal, or closer to Sonsbeek park? These areas are places to explore, not a promise of available homes in each one.
What to look for
Is there a click, and is it actually fun?
This matters more than anything else. Does the conversation flow, do you laugh together, do you feel at ease? You are not choosing colleagues, but the people you will share a quiet morning coffee with.
How close-knit or loose is the house?
One shared home grows vegetables together, eats as a group five days a week and holds a monthly meeting; another pours an occasional glass of wine at the counter and otherwise leaves each other in peace. Be honest about how much togetherness you are looking for.
Do your rhythms fit?
Do you get up at seven for work, or sit behind a laptop at home four days a week? When daily schedules and weekday calm pull in opposite directions, sharing a home takes unnecessary energy.
Can you close your door?
In a good home privacy is as natural as company. Ask how they handle it when someone comes home drained after work and just wants to watch a show with dinner on their lap.

What does a room in a shared home in Arnhem cost?
It differs per home. Check the stated monthly costs and whether energy, water and internet are included.
How is it different from a student house?
A shared living community is about choosing to live together, not your studies or age. Residents agree on what they share, how much they do together and how they protect privacy and quiet time. Long-term living can be a goal; arrangements and length of stay vary by group. Hausmates focuses on shared living communities and coliving, not student rooms.
