• Coliving company Cohabs has 14 homes in New York, where people rent rooms and share common spaces.
• The NYC locations are occupied by Gen Zers and millennials, and can house up to 34 people.

Having roommates isn't uncommon in Manhattan, where the median rent is $4,230 a month, according to Douglas Elliman's most recent market report.

Living with a couple of people to defray the cost of rent is one thing — sharing space with up to 28 other people is, well, something else.

That's exactly what Cohabs, a Belgian-founded company specializing in coliving, offers. Shorthand for communal living, coliving typically involves individuals paying less rent and signing short-term leases to live in a fully furnished home with five or more other people.

For some, coliving is a convenient alternative to traditional apartment rentals.

The model was catapulted into the spotlight in February when Allison Wolf, a resident of one of Cohabs' share houses in Brooklyn, posted a TikTok giving an overview of her experience and the people she lives with.

"Who chooses to live in a house with 23 housemates?" she asks in the clip, which has over 2.5 million views.
