Key Takeaways

  • Real Connections Matter – At Coliwoo, the co-living community thrives on shared experiences, from everyday chats to unforgettable group events.
  • Spaces Built for Belonging – Thoughtfully designed common areas and wellness activities encourage interaction and a sense of togetherness.
  • More Than a Place to Stay – Coliwoo offers a lifestyle centred around community, support, and meaningful relationships,not just a roof over your head.

At Coliwoo, co-living goes beyond having a stylish room or access to shared amenities. It’s about the moments in between, the impromptu coffee chats in the communal kitchenette, the yoga sessions at sunset, the laughter that echoes down the hall after a spontaneous movie night. Our co-living community is made up of shared stories, human connection, and everyday kindness.

This August, we’re celebrating the heart and soul of Coliwoo—our members. They’re students, creatives, professionals, and explorers from all walks of life, brought together by a shared sense of belonging. Here are some of their stories and experiences that reveal what it really means to live in a thriving co-living community.

Moments That Matter: Real Member Reflections

Rather than just listing events, we asked our members what these moments meant to them, and the answers were nothing short of heartfelt.

I’ve been in Singapore for two years now, but I haven’t had the chance to come here. So it’s really great that Coliwoo is organising community events like this.” — De Silva Shenelly Praneesha, after an island-hopping trip to St. John’s and Sisters’ Islands.

These are not just planned outings, they are also opportunities for exploration and connection.

For Sydney, an exchange student from Canada, our co-living space became a much-needed anchor in a new environment.

Living at Coliwoo helps prevent feelings of isolation, especially since travelling abroad can sometimes feel lonely. Being part of a co-living community reassures me that I’m not alone. It’s also a great opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds, which enriches my experience and social connections.

As for Mainak Dan, who has celebrated birthdays and many other special moments at Coliwoo Boon Lay:

There are many special occasions and memorable moments we’ve celebrated together. The atmosphere is always so welcoming and lively—it really feels like a second home.

No matter where they come from, our members find something familiar in the warmth of our co-living community, a reminder that connection doesn’t need to be complicated.

Designed to Bring People Together

Coliwoo’s 共享生活 spaces are both Instagram-worthy and thoughtfully built to encourage interaction and togetherness. Whether it’s a quiet reading corner, a lively communal kitchenette, or a lounge that sparks collaboration, every design choice supports the needs of a diverse community.

Recently, Coliwoo Orchard took things a step further by partnering with JR Fitness to offer exclusive wellness activities for members. From energising Aqua Zumba classes to tranquil Sunset Yoga sessions, these sessions not only promote physical and mental well-being but also offer a refreshing way to build meaningful friendships along the way.

6 Years of Community, Connection & Celebration

As we celebrated our 6th Anniversary this year, the event became more than just a milestone; it was a heartfelt tribute to everyone who made the journey possible. What made the event especially meaningful was the way staff and members came together not merely as employees and tenants, but as one united co-living community.

Through shared meals, lively conversations, and moments of laughter, we were reminded that genuine connection is rooted not in formality but in mutual care and understanding. Staff had the rare opportunity to witness the personal impact of their work, while members felt seen, heard, and appreciated.

At Coliwoo, there are no strangers, only future friends waiting to be discovered. And while the modern design, thoughtful amenities, and prime locations set the stage, what really makes it special is the community spirit that lives in every shared smile, every thoughtful gesture, and every heartfelt chat over tea.

These stories are just a glimpse into what life is like at our affordable serviced apartments. Beyond the stylish rooms and shared spaces, it’s the people who make the difference. It’s about growing together, celebrating together, and supporting one another through the highs and lows of city life.

Whether you’re a student on exchange, a remote worker exploring new cultures, or simply someone seeking a sense of connection in the heart of Singapore, Coliwoo offers a lifestyle filled with warmth, friendship, and belonging.
