Modern Co-living for Women 55+

It's not the right solution for everyone, but for many people co-living can be an attractive option for the following reasons:

1. High-quality housing for less than an apartment: Perch Houses are incredible homes for less than the average price of a 1-bedroom apartment. Plus, unlike many of them, we don't have any hidden fees.
2. Living together is better than living alone: At Perch Houses, we believe in the power of community to improve quality of life. We work hard to ensure a great housemate experience and believe that the supportive relationships developed through community living can change lives.
3. Services that make life simple: All Perch Houses come with services like housekeeping, outdoor maintenance, smart security systems, WiFi, and more. You get all the benefits of spacious home living in a single family home, with none of the hassle!

Literally, if you live in a Perch House, you will live with 2-3 other women age 55+ who have been vetted and matched together for compatibility. With Perch Houses, co-living is a means of intentional community living. We think that for the right people, living together is better than living alone.

It's ✨free✨ to apply to live in a Perch House! There's no obligation. Get started today!

Yes! Every Perch Houses resident gets a private bedroom and a private bathroom (and sometimes a bonus private room) All of our houses also come with amazing common areas and generous storage spaces. We think it's the perfect balance of privacy and community.

Everyone deserves privacy and at Perch Houses, you'll always have space that's private to you. Additionally, we work to match you with other housemates who respect each others' needs and expectations for privacy.

In a Perch House, there's always only 1 resident per bedroom. So in a four bedroom house, where each resident has a private bedroom and bathroom, there would only ever be 4 residents at most.

Absolutely! Whether you still work full-time, part-time, are self-employed, or are retired, you're welcome to join Perch Houses!

We look holistically at your history when making determinations about suitability. If necessary, you can also apply with a co-signer. Regardless, we encourage you to apply: it's free, secure, and won't affect your credit rating.

We put a lot of work into vetting housemates. Everyone living in a Perch House undergoes a comprehensive background check and screening. We also developed a proprietary compatibility quiz that assesses housemate fit in areas like lifestyle, values, opinions, and housemate preferences. Additionally, housemates collaborate on and sign a Community Plan, a document that outlines the boundaries and guidelines for relationships in the house. Finally, if all else fails, we're here to help! Contact us anytime and we'll be happy to help.

At Perch Houses, you pay:

1. Rent for your space
2. A community fee that covers a range of household services
3. An even share of the utilities with your housemates

Perch Houses does 12-month leases or greater. We're purpose built for long-term tenants who are seeking stability and community.

‍

When you sign your Perch Houses lease, you'll provide a Security Deposit equal to one month's rent, and prior to move-in you'll pay a prorated first month's rent and community fee.

Every Perch House comes with storage space available for residents to share as well as private storage space in your unit. Additionally, we can help you with downsizing or finding conveniently-located and affordable off-site storage, if necessary.

We love them! We consider them on a case-by-case and house-by-house basis. We also recognize this as an important aspect of compatibility. We ensure that people who may be allergic to pets don’t end up in a house with pets.

Perch Houses also individually evaluates requests for service and support animals. We do not condone discrimination, and strive to grant reasonable accommodations for assistance animals where properly supported under applicable law.
