Why young professionals are choosing coliving in Antwerp

The city combines coworking spaces, creative hubs, and social venues, making it easy for residents to balance work and community life. House of Co, one of the leading coliving providers, has been at the forefront of this movement, offering flexible and fully equipped spaces tailored to the needs of modern workers.

Modern work is no longer tied to a single location. Advances in digital technology and flexible work arrangements have enabled people to work from virtually anywhere. This shift has given rise to the growing phenomenon of digital nomads—individuals who prioritize lifestyle over traditional stability. For these people, coliving is an ideal solution. House of сo provides ready-to-move-in apartments with all amenities included, allowing residents to focus on career growth and personal experiences rather than arrangements.

Antwerp is more than just a pretty European city—it’s a hub of innovation and opportunity. With a rich history, a dynamic economy, and over 850 startups supported by a network of investors, it offers a place for both professional growth and personal inspiration. Its central location makes European travel easy, while its infrastructure supports both traditional businesses and emerging projects. House of Co’s strategically located coliving spaces make it easy to enjoy the city’s culture and opportunities.

Gulliem, 27, designer from Spain, emphasizes professional connections. 

“I moved to Antwerp for an Erasmus program. It was supposed to be only for three months, but now I'm planning a longer stay. I find Antwerp a perfect place for professionals looking to work abroad: it has a diverse and international community, where everyone can easily communicate in English, and plenty of job opportunities for newcomers entering the workforce.”

It has an energy that blends history with modern creativity, and it’s a place where you naturally connect with people from all kinds of backgrounds.
