🏠 Colonies in a nutshell
Colonies is much more than just a place to live.
It’s a turnkey housing solution designed to meet the needs of those who want to live in beautiful, well-located spaces, with real everyday comfort — without the usual rental hassles, and at every stage of life!
🌍 Where are we located?
We operate today in several major cities across France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, and in many urban areas where housing is in high demand.
Our residences come in different formats:
-
Shared apartments with 3 to 6 bedrooms, fully furnished
-
Large shared houses that can host more than 10 people
-
Private apartments for more privacy
-
Full-service buildings, similar to student residences with amazing common spaces
🧑🤝🧑 A new way of living together
At Colonies, each tenant has their own private space (furnished bedroom, sometimes with a private bathroom and kitchenette), and shares common areas: fully equipped kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room — and sometimes, a garden, terrace, pool, or entertainment room.
We design these spaces to encourage community living, without compromising on privacy.
🔧 A fully inclusive, hassle-free service
We take care of everything:
-
Utilities (water, electricity, heating, internet, etc.) are included in the rent
-
A dedicated support team to assist residents
-
Housekeeping and maintenance services*.
-
A digital tenant portal to access documents, ask questions, or report an issue
No more admin headaches, chasing after subscriptions, or booking five appointments to get Wi-Fi installed —
You move in, you live, we handle the rest.
🌱 A strong commitment to sustainability
At Colonies, we believe housing must evolve to be more sustainable, responsible, and inclusive.
