Co Living Oxford

Kosy Co Living is pleased to announce a series co living developments within the Oxford area.  Oxford is steeped in history and culture, one of the many reasons we decided to seek co living development opportunities here. We expect the first site developments to be be carried out very shortly, as there is demand for affordable, high-spec buildings. Here are some reasons as to why we've pursued Oxford as an area for co living...

Oxford has a population of around 155,000 and is home to the oldest and arguably most famous university in the English speaking world, the University of Oxford. This was a key factor in securing co living development sites within Oxford. The city also has a second university called Oxford Brookes University. Between the two universities, there are over 45,000 students that bustle between the narrow streets of this small city. 26 British Prime Ministers have called the University of Oxford home whilst studying there, along with 30 Heads of State, 50 Nobel Prize winners and over 120 Olympians. The University is made up of 39 colleges and 6 permanent private halls of religious foundation. The students in Oxford make up nearly 38% of the city’s population and give the city a very international, young and vibrant feel.

Co living is often considered a natural progression from student life to becoming a graduate and entering the working world. Co living offers quality homes in great locations filled with shared areas, co working space and amenities as a way of bringing people together and forming a community. It's a great way to meet new people, network and collaborate. Kosy Co living is also ideal for those seeking to start their own business as we include co working facilities in the monthly rent cost, providing that all important space for people to get started, learn and expand their network.

Oxford offers some fantastic career opportunities however the cost of living is high. Kosy Co Living offers an affordable and convenient all bills included rent model  which has huge appeal to graduates,  professionals and newcomers to the city seeking to make connections and form a social circle.

Oxford's  high cost of living means a weekly shop here is higher than those residing in West London. However, the abundance of employment opportunities, potential to further careers and the sheer beauty of this historic city makes it worthwhile. Over 10 million people visit Oxford every year to view its architecture and to spot some of the places where an endless amount of TV shows and films were made.

Oxford is known around the world for the Oxford English Dictionary and has been published by the Oxford University Press for over a century. The university also runs many entertainment venues, galleries and museums for its residents to enjoy. There are an abundance of independent shops around the city as well as known high street brands, often located around Queen Street and the Cornmarket. The historic Covered Market is also a great place to visit when in town. Oxford is an ideal co living development location for Kosy Living. 

According to the Good Growth for Cities index in 2022, Oxford was voted the best place to live and work in the UK. The survey looked at income, safety, health, skills and new businesses. The cost of rent in the city is higher though than many other UK cities, especially if you are looking for a place close to the city centre. However, Kosy Co Living can offer the residents of Oxford affordable, high quality accommodation in the heart of the city and a place with a sense of community to those who decide to call Oxford their home. Good neighbourhoods are Jericho, Headington and Summertown. Jericho is close to the city centre and houses plenty of bars and restaurants whilst Headington has lots of amenities and is student friendly. Co living is such a natural progression for Oxford as you can see. Summertown is close to the University of Oxford and is viewed as one of the leafier suburbs of the city. 

Graduates and young professionals in Oxford have ample opportunity to further their careers. There are lots of networking events and lunches hosted by businesses in the city, giving them the best start in their full-time working life. Unsurprisingly, education is a huge employer in the city, along with publishing companies, software developers and car manufactures. Young professionals tend to work in the headquarters of some of the world’s best known brands who relocated within the city. Although Oxford is classed as an expensive city to live in, compared to other UK cities, Kosy Living can offer a more affordable option through co living with all bills and amenities included.
