Colivs by Adobha — Singapore's first coliving operator, est. 2013. Fully furnished condo rooms for professionals, expats, and serious students. No agent fee, full unrestricted kitchen access, rational house rules. Founded by Ganesh · 150+ rooms across 13 neighbourhoods near MRT.
Colivs is a brand of Adobha — a name derived from the ancient Sanskrit verse Atithi Devo Bhava, meaning "the guest is equivalent to god." Founded by Ganesh in 2013 — before coliving even existed as a category in Singapore — this philosophy has guided us for over 12 years as we've built quiet, clean, private homes for professionals and expats.
Founded by Ganesh in 2013, Colivs has proudly hosted over 3,000 professionals, students, and expats in Singapore. Every room sits within a premium condominium — giving residents full access to pool, gym, and building security.
Our tenants are working professionals, expats whose families are overseas, serious students, and people starting fresh after a life change. They all share one thing: they want a calm, clean, private home — not a hostel.
We believe your home should feel like home. That means full, unrestricted kitchen access — cook whatever you want, whenever you want. No restrictions, no complaints. Just well-maintained spaces, rational house rules, and loads of privacy — at budget-friendly prices.
"Atithi Devo Bhava — we don't just offer a room. We offer you the respect, warmth, and peace of mind to make Singapore feel like home."
— Ganesh, FounderNo marketing fluff — just the honest reality of what you get when you move in.
Every room has its own lock. No random roommate assignments — you choose your room, you control your space. Your visitors are welcome on your terms. This is your home, not a dormitory.
This is not a party house. Quiet hours are enforced. Your housemates are working professionals and serious students — people who respect each other's time and space. House rules exist to protect everyone's peace, not to restrict you.
Professional management, not an absent landlord. Repairs are handled quickly — often by our own in-house team. Common areas are kept clean. You'll never have to chase anyone for a broken tap or a flickering light.
Our tenants are working professionals, expats between family postings, focused university students, and people rebuilding after a life transition. You won't share a home with party crowds — you'll be surrounded by respectful, like-minded adults who value calm and cleanliness.
* Names changed for privacy. These reflect real tenant experiences at Colivs properties.
When I first arrived in Singapore, I experienced firsthand how difficult it is to find a clean, quiet, affordable room — especially as a South Asian professional. Landlords who wouldn't reply. Agents who charged a month's rent as commission. Rooms that looked nothing like the photos.
I started Adobha in 2013 — Singapore's first coliving company — to fix that. The name comes from the Sanskrit verse Atithi Devo Bhava — "the guest is equivalent to god." It's not just a tagline. It's how I was raised, and it's how we operate every single property.
Over 12 years, we've hosted 3,000+ professionals across 150+ rooms in 13 Singapore neighbourhoods. Every property is in a premium condominium. Every room is fully furnished. Every tenant gets full kitchen access, rational house rules, and a customer service team that actually picks up the phone.
Most operators compromise on space, light, and access. We never do. Here is what sets Colivs apart from everything else in the market.
Every room is completely set up before you arrive. Bed, wardrobe, desk, linen — bring only your suitcase.
Unlike many operators who limit cooking, we give you complete, unrestricted access to a fully equipped kitchen. Cook every meal if you wish.
We never over-partition our properties. Every room has proper dimensions and a real window — because you deserve space that breathes.
All our properties are in condominiums. Residents enjoy full access to pool, gym, security, and all building amenities.
High-speed WiFi is provided at no additional cost from the moment you move in. All other utilities are charged separately and transparently.
Your home, your rules. We place no restrictions on guests visiting — because a home should feel like one.
Rooms from SGD $800–$2,000/month. No agent fees, no hidden charges. Every cost is disclosed clearly before you commit.
Minimum 3-month stay as per URA guidelines. Short and long-term stays accommodated with equal care.
From the heart of the CBD to quieter residential districts — we are always close to where you need to be.
New to coliving? Here's what it means — and why thousands of people in Singapore now prefer it.
Coliving means renting a private, fully furnished room within a shared premium property — enjoying your own personal space while benefiting from communal facilities and an instant social environment. More affordable than renting solo, more comfortable than a hostel, and far more flexible than a traditional long-term lease.
No furniture shopping, no chasing utility companies, no waiting weeks to settle in. Everything is ready.
Your own locked room, shared common areas kept clean and quiet. The best of both worlds — independence with the comfort of a managed home.
Live in a condo in a prime district at a fraction of what solo renting would cost you.
Minimum 3 months as per URA guidelines. No years-long commitments weighing on your decisions.
No agent fees. No hidden charges. No surprises. You see the price, you pay the price.
Pricing varies by location, floor level, room size, and tenancy duration. All rates are clearly presented upfront — what you see is exactly what you pay. Additional services such as housekeeping and utilities are available separately.
