In a city renowned for a level of sociability verging on the hedonistic, it’s perhaps little surprise that many who choose to live in Los Angeles like the idea of doing so in a communal setting. There are now numerous co-living spaces to be found in LA, including several that combine practical amenities with a dash of style. Here are 5 of the best.
Treehouse
Located in the heart of Los Angeles, Treehouse Hollywood has gained great acclaim for its ‘front porch’ concept, utilising the lifestyle that exists between public and private. Residents have the opportunity to experience their own private sanctity of home within their rooms, coupled with a thriving community right outside their door that encourages the kind of serendipitous interactions that can spark friendships and change lives. The venue is home to a two-story library, lounge, garden rooftop, speakeasy bar, art studio/laundry room combined, gym, cafe with coffee & tea free to residents, chef-grade kitchen/dining hall, and a Treehouse in Treehouse (designed by street artist Retna).
