For owners and operators
Co-Living in VA is a room-by-room rental board for Hampton Roads. We built it to fill our own houses, and it is now open to other owners. You keep your tenants, your leases and your rent. We put your rooms in front of people who are specifically looking for a room rather than a whole house.
The case for co-living is simple: several rents instead of one, minus the utilities you now pay. Put your own numbers in. Mortgage, taxes and insurance are the same whichever way you rent it, so they are left out — this compares the income side only.
An estimate from the figures you entered, not a projection or a guarantee. Your city may also require a rental licence or a conditional use permit to rent a house by the room.
Pick how much of the work you want to keep.
A property is usually live within a couple of days of the call.
Fifteen minutes. Tell us the address, how many rooms, what each one rents for, and what is included in the rent.
Room photos, rents, deposits and the date each room is free. If your photos are weak we will tell you honestly, and we can shoot them for you locally.
Each room gets written up to the same standard as our own, put on the board and on its city page, and you get the links.
By phone, text or email, whichever you prefer. You decide who tours and who signs — unless you ask us to handle placement.
Private rooms in shared houses anywhere in Hampton Roads — Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton, Newport News and the surrounding cities. Furnished or unfurnished, utilities included or not, as long as the listing says which.
Rooms where the rent, deposit or availability on the page is not the real one. Rooms in a property that is not legally permitted to be rented by the room in its city. Any listing whose wording would violate the Fair Housing Act or the Virginia Fair Housing Law.
Tell us the day a room is taken and we pull it the same day. A board full of rooms that are already gone is worth nothing to the next renter, and nothing to you.
Listing here does not make us your manager and gives us no claim on your tenants or your rent. Management is a separate agreement you would have to sign.
Because a listing board is only worth paying for once renters are using it. We are filling the board first. Listing is free through February 10, 2027 for every property added during that window, and we will tell you before anything changes.
$99 per month per property, with every room on that property included. If you have a six-room house, it is still $99. Cancel any month and your listings come down.
We manage our own houses and they are on the same board. A renter who wants Norfolk and sees ten rooms instead of three is more likely to lease one of them, and some of those are yours. That is the whole reason to share a board.
No. Most owners who list here manage their own rooms. Management and placement are separate services you can take or leave.
However you want — phone, text or email, listed on the room. If you would rather not field enquiries at all, that is what placement is for.
This board is built for room-by-room renting. If you have a whole unit to fill, call anyway — we get those enquiries constantly and we pass them on.
Bring the address, the room count and what each room rents for. If your property is not a fit, we will say so on the call rather than waste your time.
