A Year in a Coliving Space That Felt Like Home

When I moved to Pune, I was looking for a safe and clean place to stay that wasn't too far from the office. But after being at the Covie Viman Nagar for the past year, I found a place that was much more than just a room — I found a meaningful coliving space that simplified my daily life, improved my well-being, and helped me feel connected.

If you are thinking of shared living in Pune as a student or working professional, here's a firsthand look at what makes Covie more than another place to stay.

1. Comfortable, Hassle-Free Living

From day one, all the setups at Covie were completed and ready - no stress setting it up, or no hidden returns. It was set up to allow me to simply live, rather than having to set up my daily activities upon arrival.

What Contributed to a Smooth Daily Living

1.1 Getting Set Up with Fully Furnished

My room had everything I needed to be comfortable on day one - the bed, wardrobe, desk for work, and all I needed to worry about was unpacking.

1.2 Daily services are included

The housekeeping and laundry were all in by the Covie staff. I wouldn't have to chase things down.

1.3 Available Wifi and power backup

There was no interruption for work calls or streaming - a plus for a digital nomadic lifestyle.

1.4 A calm and clean environment

The environments were quiet all the time - perfect for people who appreciate getting things done in order and quietness.

2. Affordable Premium Living

It was evident that design and cleanliness were not just core ideas in this co-living space. They were a reality every single day. The space itself was a true modern home, and not just a bland rental accommodation.

Where Design Meets Comfort

2.1 Modern Interiors

The whole place had a contemporary and minimal look - simple, yet pleasing.

2.2 Quick Maintenance

Every request was resolved quickly - I never had to chase anything up.

2.3 Clean Shared Spaces

Even the pantry and lounge were immaculate - I genuinely looked forward to spending time in those spaces.

2.4 Clear Spaces to Breath

Nothing felt cramped. Whether in the common area or my room, everything had its place.

3. Designed for Students and Working Professionals

Whether you're burning the midnight oil studying or being the first one at the office for an early meeting, this shared living arrangement enables full ownership of your schedule without friction.

A Schedule-Friendly Arrangement

3.1 Study-Friendly Atmosphere

There were quiet corners and reliable Wi-Fi -- ideal for laser-focused work.

3.2 Kind-spirited Co-residents

Everyone had ambition. It was great to have other people around who respected your time.

3.3 Positive Peer Pressure

When you live in an intentional and growth-focused co-living arrangement, motivation becomes infectious!

3.4 Modified Living Hours

I never felt limited -- I could live authentically and at my own rhythm without judgment.

4. Safety You Can Trust

The security at Covie was superb. It was nice to know I could unwind, even if I came back after midnight.

Feeling Safe at All Times

4.1 Key Pad Access Only

Only residents and staff had access. That was a lot of stress off my mind!

4.2 Staff Presence

There was someone there at any hour, day, or night. And we could approach them if we needed, too.

4.3 Emergency Response

If it was an emergency — even if it was a power outage or my urgent need — there was always somebody on the phone to answer.

4.4 Culture of Respect

Everyone respected each other. There was no ungainly behavior or issues with boundaries.

5. Prime Locale that Saves Time

Covie's Viman Nagar residence gave me the benefits of city living without the craziness.

Location that Just Works

5.1 Near Offices and Colleges

My office and my friends' campuses were all under 15 minutes away.

5.2 Surrounded by Cafes and Malls

Phoenix Mall, good food joints, and my weekend hangouts were all within walking distance.

5.3 Great Connectivity

Rickshaws and easy airport access ensured I could always get to my destination with ease.

5.4 Calm Energy

Even while being in an affluent and buzzing location, the residence kept an air of calm and collectedness.

6. Built-In Social Life

Residing in a community-first space has allowed me to meet several amazing people. The social atmosphere (or vibe) was carefree without being overbearing.

A Community That Connects

6.1 Easy to Make Friends

Because of the shared kitchen, lounge, and community events, it all felt natural to connect.

6.2 Fun and Relaxed Social Events

From yoga classes to movie nights, social life was genuinely effortless at Covie.

6.3 Helpful and Friendly Housemates

Whether it was borrowing groceries or sharing a job listing, we supported one another.

6.4 Shared Spaces that Encourage You to Meet Others

These lounges were better than staying in a cramped hostel, and they inspire you to want to hang out.



7. Wellness in Daily Life

In addition to the facilities, Covie supported how I lived -- helping me maintain balance in body and mind. This is where co-living stood out.

Healthy Living Without Pressure

7.1 Wellness-Oriented Activities

There were wellness campaigns and group yoga sessions -- both optional, but beneficial.

7.2 Stress-Free Environment

The design, cleanliness, and quietness aided in decompressing daily.

7.3 Healthy Living Basics

Access to clean drinking water, clean kitchens, and overall cleanliness makes a swimmingly difference.

7.4 Space to Re-energize

I had the privacy I needed. Not all community living spaces can provide that.

Final Thoughts

Covie was the ideal example of everything right with coliving spaces — a balance of comfort and connection, where regular stresses are forgotten. If you are not a resident of New Delhi and are unsure where to live, or you are just tired of unpredictable PGs, look no further; Covie is where you need to be.

For me, it was not just any space I was living in. It was where I grew with people that made it lighter, both in a personal and professional way.
