About us

Cohabs was founded in Brussels in 2016, when rental homes for young people were missing two things: quality and connection.

So we started over, designing homes where connection is built into the architecture, backed by services that genuinely take care of our members.

In 2026, we’re celebrating ten years of turning that idea into reality. From our first home in Brussels, we’ve grown to New York, Paris, Madrid, Luxembourg, London, Milan, Washington DC and Marseille, and we’re a certified B Corp committed to choices that are better for people and the planet.

And we’re just getting started: by 2030, we aim to reach 12,500 beds across 11 markets, with several new ways of living in the city.

Every part of the business exists for one reason: to make our members’ lives easier, richer and a little less lonely.

Our motto? Live like you mean it.
