Even if you’re interested in living in a share house, many people may not know how to find the right property. Share houses offer the chance to form new communities and connect with others, but you rarely find them at typical real estate agencies.

Here, we introduce tips on how to find a share house effectively and explain the features of C’s(Si:s) share|The Maison, which provides a comfortable living environment for women. If you’re looking for a share house with private rooms, please use this as a reference.

When living in a share house, you will inevitably share your living space with other housemates. It’s reassuring to know who lives there before moving in. However, there are some things you’ll only understand once you’ve started living there. Here are some benefits of choosing a share house with private rooms.

Share house living makes it easier to avoid loneliness compared to living alone. You can use the common space when you want to talk to someone. On the other hand, if you want to relax by yourself, a private room becomes essential. If you have conflicts with your housemates, having a private room helps you cool down and regain composure.

Considering the above, it’s a good idea to look for a share house with private rooms.

When you want to live in a share house, it’s more common to search online rather than visiting a real estate agency.

You can use either share house portal sites or the websites of share house management companies.

You can also search using keywords like the name of your desired area and “share house.” This method might not allow for bulk searches but can help you find properties not listed on portals.

Portal and management sites let you filter properties based on your preferences. For example: women-only, within 5 minutes of a station, rent range, rooftop, auto-lock, full kitchenware, foreigners welcome, privacy-focused, smoking allowed, private rooms, renovated, with bathtub, pet-friendly, guests allowed, couples allowed, detached houses, bike parking, small-scale, large-scale, Western or Japanese-style rooms, etc.

Some even let you filter by specific equipment such as shared PCs, hair dryers, or toasters. You can also search by detailed requirements like short-term availability, pet policies, or water facilities in private rooms.

Because you’re not living alone, everyone’s preferences differ. Make use of the search functions to narrow down options and find your ideal share house.
