Benefits of Premium Social Living (high-end share house)

The social living concept- also known as “share houses” or “co-living spaces”- has been around in Tokyo for nearly 40 years. 

The trend started out in the 1980s as guest houses for foreigners, as at the time, it was exceedingly difficult for a non-Japanese national to find suitable housing (although there are still difficulties, it is much easier now due to property managers being more accepting of foreigners, as well as foreigner-focused real estate agencies such as apts.jp). 

Benefits of Social Living (share houses, co-living spaces)

The image of social living spaces has started to change in the past decade or so, but the most common benefits of social living haven’t changed much: 

• Many of them come furnished 

• Meet new people from all walks of life 

• Have a shared space for activities such as game or movie nights 

• Significantly less complicated procedures compared to standard long-term rentals 

• Relatively lenient lease terms 

• Multiple payment options possible 

One of the highest benefits of social housing, is that it’s one of the most cost-effective and easiest ways to get your life started in Tokyo. 

Comparisons on Social Living versus standard Long-Term rentals 

Standard long-term rentals in Tokyo have an average initial move-in costs of 3.5~5+ times the rent cost, which can be prohibitive for some.  Social living rentals tend to have initial move-in costs of less than 3 times the rent price. 

For standard long-term rentals, the process from viewing to move-in, takes 3~4 weeks on average.  For share houses, the process can be completed in under a week! 

Share houses are a great way to setup your life quickly in Tokyo, and in the meantime, you might make some new friends. 

What can be better than social living, for those looking for such conveniences?
