description Coliving in Brussels consists in the renting of rooms in a building with shared spaces and services by private companies. With its furnished and flexible “all-inclusive” formula, this niche market is growing rapidly and is aimed especially at young expatriates in Brussels.

In Brussels, coliving exists mainly in single-family houses in the south-east neighbourhoods of the inner ring.
