Let’s check how co-living is growing with the help of proptech

• The one vs. the many

Co-living is the concept of community. It's not a bunch of strangers living in a house; it's the gathering of like-minded people into a happy "extended family."

The difficulty for operators is to create a climate that supports community growth while still ensuring individuals' safety and security.

Technology can assist operators in striking a balance between personal safety, individual liberties, and communal peace.

• Create tailored, precise access

Of course, smart access solutions can ensure that each resident and perhaps the only resident has accessibility to their room. Utilizing their smartphone as a "key," they may gain entry quickly and easily.

It may also imply access to the bike storage area and unlocking their bike rack if they get listed as possessing a bike.

• Keep the community safe

Keys are lost, duplicated, and occasionally "given out" to a friend, all of which may jeopardize community safety by enabling non-members of both the community access to the co-living space.

When the resident's "key" is their smartphone, losing, lending, and copying become non-issues, and the neighborhood has the mental peace of knowing who's in their house.
