As job opportunities take the young workforce to new places, unfamiliarity with the environment and distance from family and friends can take an emotional toll on many. This is one of the reasons why co-living spaces have gained popularity. Millennials seem to love this new trend as it not only gives privacy in living arrangements but also promotes social interaction through community events. Singapore-based Hmlet, a co-living startup offers comfort without compromise.
