Antwerp is where Colin started. Find a room in a shared home, meet people who actually want to build a household together, and skip the isolation of renting a studio alone in a city built for density, not sprawl.
Every room shared in an existing building is a room that doesn't need a new one built further out. Denser, walkable neighborhoods beat commuting from the edge of the city.
Living alone is correlated with loneliness; living well with the right housemates is correlated with the opposite. Colin matches you on compatibility, not just budget.
Splitting a larger home with people you actually chose almost always beats the price-per-m² of a studio - in Antwerp's city center especially.

Cohousing is a way of living where residents share a home or a cluster of homes while keeping their own private space - splitting the cost of a place and building a real community with the people you share it with, instead of living anonymously next to strangers.
The terms overlap a lot in practice. "Coliving" usually describes a managed, often furnished room-rental setup, while "cohousing" leans more toward residents actively shaping the household together. On Colin, most homes land somewhere in between - a private room, shared common spaces, and housemates you actually choose.
It depends on the neighborhood, room size, and whether it has a private bathroom, but shared housing in Antwerp is consistently cheaper per person than renting a studio alone - while giving you more space and company for the money.
Yes. Shared housing is common and legal in Belgium. One detail worth knowing: some rooms require you to register your official domicile at that address ("domicilie"), which has tax and legal implications - Colin shows this clearly on every listing that requires it.
