Solving Housing Problems - Why We Started Alcove Rooms

Students and young professionals are now renting shared, affordable accommodation more than ever before. The ability to rent a room, within a beautiful home can significantly bring down the cost of living whilst helping people feel more independent and able to pursue a dream career.

But that doesn’t mean you won’t find it a challenge to live alone for the first time. Then, factor in different personalities and living styles, and daily life can feel overwhelming. But we’re here to offer you reassurance by solving housing problems head-on. At Alcove, we recognize the housing problems shared accommodation can create and focus on building supportive communities to reshape the world of shared housing.

Common Housing Headaches – The Challenges We’re Tackling

So, what are the most common housing issues we now face, and the problems created by living with roommates or a landlord?

The Issue of High Rent Prices

Rising rent prices create a barrier to independent living for young professionals, students, and individuals new to the workforce. High living costs in city centers can often force many professionals to settle for subpar housing or live far from their place of work.

How do we solve this?

Well, at Alcove, we offer affordable housing options by providing high-quality shared living spaces, allowing tenants to split costs without compromising comfort, quality, or proximity to work and social hubs.

Struggles with Shared Living

If you’ve never lived alone, or you’re new to the idea of living with roommates, chances are you’ll face housing issues related to your new friends. Personalities can clash. Communication can be challenging, and cleaning up shared spaces can often feel like a constant battle. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, many people now prefer to live with housemates than alone as it creates a more social and fun way of life.

How do we solve this?

To encourage roommates to communicate well and respect each other, we have invested a huge amount of time and resources into creating unique shared living environments to make living together a positive experience every time.

We also conduct background checks and tenant screening as well as provide incremental profile information at each stage to increase the chances that you’ll get along with your new housemates, while protecting our roommates' privacy. This helps minimize common housing issues and creates a more harmonious shared living space.

Limited Access to Quality Rentals

Quality housing shouldn’t be out of reach just because you’re looking for an affordable option. Yet, many budget-friendly rentals are poorly maintained by private landlords or lack basic amenities.

How do we solve this?

Alcove Rooms addresses this head-on by offering well-maintained, fully furnished, and affordable housing options. We partner with property owners who share our commitment to quality and ensure that our tenants receive a clean, safe, and comfortable living environment. And should you encounter a housing issue with a room or shared living space, you can simply reach out to our dedicated team for assistance.

Our entire business was built on the principle that affordable housing should be accessible and enjoyable. Our pricing structure makes shared housing an option that meets diverse budget needs. By offering options that allow tenants to pay only for their portion of the space, Alcove provides residents with the freedom to live in prime locations without stretching their budgets.

Challenges for New City Residents

So you’re new to the city! Perhaps you’re going to university out of state or just starting a new job. First, congratulations. Secondly, don’t panic. You’ll probably be unfamiliar with the neighborhoods and find it difficult to establish a network of connections and friends immediately.

How do we solve this?

Alcove Rooms supports newcomers by offering ready-to-move-in spaces that simplify the transition. Our locations are chosen for their convenience and accessibility, making it easier for new residents to settle and feel at home in a new city. And living in a shared space will give you instant access to other people who you can go out and explore the new city with.
