Serviced Residences and Coliving in Toulouse: The Best Options
The Toulouse housing market is no longer limited to traditional rentals. Driven by growing demand for flexibility — from young professionals, executives on assignment, international students and expatriates — a new segment has developed strongly: serviced residences and coliving. These formats offer fully-equipped accommodation, quality shared spaces and included services, for a new residential experience in Toulouse.
Serviced Residences: The All-Inclusive Housing Solution
Serviced residences are buildings managed by a professional operator that rents furnished apartments with services included. They cater to several audiences:
Student residences
Toulouse has many quality private student residences, particularly around the Rangueil, Jean-Jaurès and Compans-Caffarelli campuses. Leading brands — Nexity Studéa, Réside Études, Fac-Habitat, Arpège — offer fully-furnished studios or one-bedroom flats with included internet, reception service, laundry and communal areas. Expect €550 to €900/month all-inclusive.
Senior and active retiree residences
Operators such as Domitys, Aegide-Domitys or Les Girandières offer Toulouse residences for independent people over 60. They provide adapted accommodation, catering, activities and personal services in a secure setting.
Professional and executive residences
Serviced apartments such as Citadines, Nemea Appart’hôtel or Adagio offer furnished apartments by the week or month, ideal for professional assignments. Prices: €800 to €1,800/month depending on duration and size.
Coliving: Living Together Differently
Coliving is an evolution of the traditional flat-share model. In a coliving residence, each resident has a private furnished room or studio, while communal spaces (kitchen, lounge, gym, workspace) are shared. A manager handles maintenance, services and sometimes community events.
In Toulouse, coliving is growing rapidly, particularly in the Saint-Cyprien, Compans-Caffarelli and historic centre districts. Active operators include Colonies, Cologis, Kley and independent local operators. Prices range from €600 to €1,200/month per resident, all-inclusive (water, electricity, internet, access to shared spaces).
This model is particularly suited to:
- Young professionals and digital nomads seeking flexibility and community.
- Executives on short- to medium-term assignments (3 to 12 months).
- Master’s students or work-study students wanting a stimulating environment.
- Expatriates in a transition period before finding permanent housing.
Advantages and Disadvantages of These Formats
Advantages:
- No furniture to buy or move.
- Inclusive bills, predictable budget.
- Often no guarantor required (or simplified guarantee).
- Built-in social network — ideal for newcomers to Toulouse.
- Flexible durations: from monthly to annual.
Disadvantages:
- Higher monthly cost than a traditional flat-share or unfurnished rental.
- Less personalisation of the accommodation.
- Private spaces are often smaller.
- Not eligible for APL in most cases (except a few regulated residences).
