Why Co-Living Works as Student Housing

Cramped dormitories were once an essential part of the university experience, but today’s students are looking for a better way to live—and increasingly, they’re finding it in buildings like Comma Barrington.

Let’s take a closer look at how this new co-living project in West LA is redefining student housing.

Affordable and Flexible Leases

Between tuition, textbooks, and transportation, university expenses add up quickly and finding student housing that fits your already-tight budget can be challenging.

Comma Barrington offers UCLA students a refreshing and affordable approach to university living. Its spacious homes are priced well below average and rent includes utilities, Wi-Fi, and regular cleaning services. Instead of juggling multiple bills or coordinating payments with roommates, you can focus on getting the most out of your university experience.

Students will also appreciate that both short- and long-term leases are available. Whether you’re staying in Los Angeles for a single semester, a summer internship, or the duration of your degree, there’s room for you at Comma Barrington.

Furnished, Move-In Ready Homes

For many students, moving into a new apartment means figuring out who’s bringing what and carrying a lot of heavy boxes. That’s not the case at Comma Barrington. Every 4- and 5-bedroom home in this co-living building comes fully furnished, so you can spend less time unpacking and more time settling into the semester.

Kitchens and living rooms are complete with a sofa, a dining table, and stainless-steel appliances, while the bedrooms feature a queen bed and nightstand. And since living here gets you exclusive discounts at Article and Takasa, it’s easy to make the home your own.

Compared to traditional UCLA housing and university apartments, Comma Barrington strikes a more thoughtful balance between private and communal spaces. Here, you’ll need to share bathrooms and laundry facilities with only three to four roommates—not an entire floor of residents.

Carefully Curated Amenities

With a unique collection of amenities, Comma Barrington fosters a sense of belonging that can be difficult to find in other Los Angeles housing options and student apartments.

The open-stairwell courtyard is the heart of the building and each home’s entrance faces inward, creating natural opportunities for you to meet and connect with your neighbors. Meanwhile, the rooftop terrace and clubhouse provide spaces for residents to gather. Equipped with lounge seating, arcade games, a giant projector screen, and BBQs, you can invite your classmates over for everything from weeknight study sessions to graduation parties.

This isn’t just a place for you to stay in during the school year; it’s a vibrant community where you can live well, in good company.

Comma Barrington is now leasing, with rates starting at just $1,299/month per room. Apply today to experience 100% co-living that’s 100% cool.
