SharedEasy Opens Doors to Traveling Doctors and Nurses during COVID-19

In February, ​as the tide turned it’s wake to the states and New York became the epicenter of COVID-19, ​Governor Cuomo issued a nationwide call​: “Please come help us.” The response to the call was overwhelming. Medical workers, traveling doctors, and nurses, first responders, and mental health workers ​arrived ready to assist ​the brave healthcare workers of New York who were weary and overworked as they fought day and night to save lives among a shortage of supplies and the battle to stay healthy themselves.

Hassle-Free Renting

SharedEasy Coliving​ began with a vision to provide hassle-free, affordable living in the big city. That vision extends into a commitment to create and nurture community among our residents and to provide an alternative to the long-existing ​complicated rental process​ that has permeated the real estate market in New York for decades. New York City is the place where people come to realize their dreams. We take pleasure in our part to make this happen. In assuring that travelers, students, interns, digital nomads, corporate executives and all who flock to the City for a dose of New York City Energy have a ​place to call home.​ Now, amidst the Coronavirus Crisis, we add to the mix the dedicated health professionals coming to the rescue during New York’s difficult days. As the crisis intensified and the “Stay at Home” mandates were handed down, we asked ourselves, “What can we do to help?”

No Security Deposit

SharedEasy is opening our doors with dedicated housing options in three of our homes in convenient locations in Brooklyn, Long Island City and Manhattan (near Central Park.) We are doing our part to assist in the “Stay at Home” movement to flatten the curve and stop the spread of the coronavirus in New York. SharedEasy is offering housing options to accommodate healthcare workers, traveling doctors, traveling nurses, medical personnel, and first responders so that they are assured a safe, healthy and affordable place to live while they do the “work of the angels”. We are waiving deposits, dropping prices almost 50% and cording off designated areas specifically to serve those who are coming to New York to serve on the frontlines.

All-Inclusive Pricing

Everything is included in one price​, the application process is easy, and your rooms are furnished in comfortable, conveniently located modern settings. We take care of everything. No need to pack cleaning supplies, toilet paper or paper towels. No need to worry about dishes or kitchen essentials, wifi, utilities or surprise expenses. Flexibility is important for you; whether you stay two months or six months, we offer month-to-month leases for you. Everything is hassle-free, easy, comfortable, clean and safe.

Thanks Health Heroes

SharedEasy knows ​you are heroes​; and unlike many other companies, we did not advertise with bold statements or PR when the crisis broke out. Instead, we consulted with first responders in the field and with hospital contacts to ensure that we listened to your needs and met those needs while keeping our existing community safe by implementing policies and procedures to provide safe and healthy places to come home to after your days and nights on the front lines. Our pledge is to serve during this challenging time by offering the best services and accommodations and to offer them at affordable rates. This is our “Thank You” to all of you heroes! We are waiting for you and we are so grateful for you.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the FAQs by people considering transitioning to coliving.

  • What is Coliving?

    Coliving is a residential model in which individuals get a private bedroom in a furnished home with shared common areas. It is a bunch of biologically unrelated people living together in the same place. Usually, residents in a coliving space share interests, values, or intentions.

    Coliving is a type of housing where people live together in a shared space, often with shared amenities. It is a re-imagination of the age-old concept of community, based on the tenets of openness, collaboration, the sharing economy, and social networking.

    Coliving spaces can be found in cities all over the world, but they are particularly popular in New York City. There are many different types of coliving spaces, from small apartments with a few roommates to large co-living communities with hundreds of residents.

    Coliving spaces often have common areas for residents to socialize, work, and relax, as well as shared kitchen and laundry facilities.

  • What are the benefits of co-living?

    Coliving can be a great way to meet new people and make friends, as well as save money on rent and other expenses. Co-living is affordable, convenient, and flexible.

    Many co-living spaces are located in convenient locations near public transportation, restaurants, and other amenities, which makes your commute time shorter, and affords you the advantage of greater productivity.

  • What amenities are typically included in a co-living space in NYC?

    Amenities typically available in coliving spaces include laundry, kitchen, swimming pools, workspaces, access to gyms and other health clubs, leisure areas, and spas. All the utilities and WiFi are included in the rental amount. Some spaces offer access to house cleaning services, and occasionally catered parties depending on the community. Coliving spaces catering to new parents may offer a playground for the children or access to vetted child care services.

    Co-living sounds like an answer to everything you’ve ever asked about homes, neighborhoods, or life as digital nomads. Some coliving spaces offer private bedrooms and bathrooms, while others have shared sleeping and living areas. Coliving spaces often have common areas for residents to socialize, work, and relax, as well as shared kitchen and laundry facilities.

  • Is co-living a good idea?

    Coliving can be a great choice for someone who wants to move to a big city, save big on a luxury apartment, and keep things simple. However, for someone who wants to live outside a major US city and doesn’t like the idea of sharing their space, it’s not a great choice.

    It is also a great fit for those who want to belong to a company of like-minded people and build their social network. It can be very rewarding and enriching to belong to a community of people with the same interests. You get to learn, grow, and develop yourself. You can also build a great working relationship, and potentially snag yourself a mentor or a co-founder.

    All the great companies were built by people in the same network! Coliving offers flexibility and helps foster friendships between strangers. Newcomers are sure to find themselves welcomed into the community with open arms.

    Coliving is a great way to learn about the cultures of other people and appreciate diversity. Another attraction of coliving is the lifestyle. Coliving houses are situated in busy areas, so cafes, bars, and shopping are only a couple of minutes away from your house, which is great if long commutes are a chore for you. It is a plus for you if your coliving community is located in a place with excellent nightlife.

    In terms of cost, coliving is firmly within the average price range for properties, being that you’re paying for both the house and the service rendered.

  • Does SharedEasy Have an App?

    SharedEasy does not have an app at the moment, just an amazing website with ample information and details on each property. Important information includes the number of units, their availability, and the appliances contained in each unit, as well as a map of the place and a tour of the property. There’s something for everyone on the website.

  • Where Can I Find a Coliving Space?

    There are coliving spaces all over the United States. SharedEasy offers coliving options in New York and Los Angeles. If you are interested in coliving spaces in New York City, SharedEasy has many destinations for you. There are spaces in East New York, Cobble Hill, Clinton Hill, Bushwick, Brooklyn Heights, Broadway, East Village, Inwood, Soho, Chelsea, Ridgewood, Hell’s Kitchen, Harlem, Midtown East, and Jersey City.

    All these coliving apartments are furnished according to the standards, and there are pictures up on the website. Beware of websites that have listings without pictures. Most of those are scams, and in these cases, people pay a security deposit, only to lose it.
