Coliving in Europe doesn't have to mean a bunk bed in Lisbon or a corporate tower in Berlin. Some of the best community houses on the continent sit in small towns: walkable old towns with cafes and coworking, a beach or a mountain at the door, and a group of nomads to share it with.
Here are 7 small city coliving spaces in Europe worth adding to your list, all verified and operating in 2026, with current prices. Prefer a village or a mountain lodge over a town? See our guide to 7 rural coliving spaces in Europe.

🏘 Small city or countryside?
Both kinds of coliving give you community and a workspace. The difference is what's outside the door:
- Small city colivings (this list) put you in a walkable town: cafes, restaurants, a gym, a beach or slopes nearby, and locals around you. Better if you want town life with your community.
- Rural colivings put you in a village or the mountains, with nature as the main event and the group as your social world. Better if you want to disconnect. See our guide to 7 rural coliving spaces in Europe.
