Okay I’m sold. What do I do now?
Fill in the Apply Now Form and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that demand is extremely high. After filling out the form we will either text or call you to explain more about 908 Coliving and any upcoming availabilities we may have. If we have an opening and you’d like to move forward, your spot will be officially secured for you once you both sign the lease AND pay the security deposit of one month’s rent. Paying the security deposit secures the room for you and so if you decide to not move in after paying the security deposit, we will try our best to fill your reservation with another applicant, but you may forfeit some or all of your security deposit depending on how close to the move-in date you choose to cancel your lease.
What is Coliving?
Coliving is a new way of living inspired by creative communities and collective experiences at its core. Starting with the basics, it offers shared spaces (living room, dining room and other areas for socializing), a sauna (kind of socializing, too), small kitchen, laundry room, and a backyard, hot desks and more. Using this space to bring everyone together, we are creating collaborative and fun environments that expose members to new people, new ideas and new experiences.

We have a big living room where we watch movies and dine together, a little kitchen, a coworking room, a huge backyard with a grill, sauna and laundry room.
Who is co-living for?
If you’re a native San Franciscan, it’s your new scene. If you’re new to San Francisco, it’s your home away from home. If you're an entrepreneur, it’s your future network. Coliving is for anyone who values the 3 C’s: community, creativity and convenience.
