Take your pick from luxurious to fun and funky co-living spaces in Singapore.
Moving to Singapore or thinking about getting a new place? Take the communal living route for an exciting change of pace. It’s been hot on the trails of co-working spaces for some time now, and we’re pleased to see numerous co-living options popping up in Singapore. With various activities, amenities and aesthetically pleasing interiors, it’ll take you just a weekend in these fully functional spaces before you’re connected with a whole new social circle and a sweet new abode you don’t wanna leave! Whether you’re here for a work attachment or on a quest for independence (without all the necessary housekeeping involved), you’ll find the perfect one for you on this list.
Best co-living spaces in Singapore
1. Cove
This co-living space was founded by three young entrepreneurs who had their fair share of bad rental experiences and wanted to change the urban market. Cove aims to make the transition process seamless. You can discover, view, check in and move in within a span of just a few days! It offers places in landed houses, condos and apartments with a range of in-house facilities such as weekly housekeeping. If you want something simple and affordable, check this one out.

2. Habyt
Habyt (previously Hmlet) brings together communal living with adequate privacy (you’ll get your own personal bathrooms!) in gorgeous Scandinavian spaces. Its Cantonment Road residence, in particular, has captured our local-lovin’ hearts with a revamped heritage space, injecting subtle elements of Singaporean culture into the distinctly minimal decor.
The organisation is all about fostering a community. Apart from community managers linking you up with like-minded peers based on your profile, members are also free to run their own events and programmes such as yoga, sketching or cooking at the common spaces, so jump right in if you wanna mingle! As one of the more established co-living providers in Singapore, Habyt has over 1,000 rooms available for tenancy across the island. From rooms close to the breezy East Coast to the Cantonment facility right in the heart of the CBD, there’s definitely a chic, modern suite you’ll fancy.
