Living economically in a shared, co-living space doesn't mean you have to sacrifice safety. In actuality, we do all the things you WISH you could have done when taking on a roommate. We've employed a 7-point system that supports the best community of all.
Personal Interviews
We personally interview each prospective tenant to make sure that they meet the criteria of being a quality house mate. We seek professional, driven individuals who appreciate the value of other quality people. You are who you surround yourself with, so let's ensure they are aligned to your goal-oriented lifestyle.
Background Checks
Each tenant is additional screen with a background check, weeding out those with a criminal record not conducive for a shared environment.
Keyless Entry
All exterior doors, in addition to being reinforced, are fitted with digital locks that are monitored and can be recorded quickly. This addresses concerns about house mates copying keys and handing out or even sharing their code with someone else.
Bedroom Locks
Bedroom doors are also equipped with individual digital keypads and locks. Each tenant has a code individual to him or her that can also be monitored, changed as needed, and secured from others.
Living with others should be focused on creating and maintaining high expectations. Not only of others, but ourselves. We find this is a common breakdown in community life so we remove this obstacle by establishing house rules, or as we call them, House Commitments, that simply sets good expectations in advance of how we want to take care of the house together as well as how we want to take care of each other together.
Security Cameras
The common space of the house has a security camera to help us all inspect what we expect. The most common area a house dynamic breaks down is in the kitchen; dishes piled up, trash not taken out, stove messes left behind. Although our cameras are not monitored in real time, it enables us to help tenants keep each other accountable on maintaining the high standards we all agreed to in the House Commitments.
Smart Lights Lighting
Let's paint the picture. You come home at night, it's dark, you pull up in the driveway and your environmentally conscious roommate turns off the porch light. You have the joy of walking in the dark to your door. OR.... If you're a part of our community, you pull in the drive, grab your smartphone, and turn on the front light as well as the living room light so you have safe easy access to your home. Even better, it works with Siri on IOS as well as Amazon Alexa.
