There may be some people in their 40s who are interested in shared houses, but have the impression that young people live there, and wonder if they can live in a shared house.
However, there are share houses that even people in their 40s can move into.
Therefore, in this article, we will explain the points to consider when choosing a property for people in their 40s, and what kind of people are suitable for shared houses.
If you are in your 40s and would like to live in a share house, please take a look.
5 points for people in their 40s when choosing a property
There are several points to keep in mind when choosing a property.
Since there are many shared houses where the majority of the residents are young people, troubles may arise due to disagreements.
To prevent this from happening, choose your property carefully.
Point 1: Age restriction
Most share houses have age restrictions.
Many share houses have an age limit of 18 to 39, but there are also share houses that allow people in their 40s to move in, so be sure to check the age restrictions beforehand if you are thinking about moving in.
By the way, there are many concept-type share houses built based on a specific theme that even people in their 40s can move into.
The main example is a shared house where people who want to start a business or people who like games move in.
Although the rent is a little higher than a typical share house, it is easy to bond with members who share common hobbies and goals.
XROSS HOUSE does not have a theme/concept type share house, but we can propose a one-room (single-person) property with furniture and home appliances that people in their 40s can live in.
If you are interested in one room, please contact us!

Point ② Age group
Even if there are no age restrictions, it is important to check the age range of the property.
If the age difference between you and the tenant is large, problems may arise due to generation gaps.
Even if you decide to move into the share house of your choice, if you continue to hold back because you are worried about trouble, your shared house life will be ruined.
Although generational differences in values and culture do not necessarily exist, keep them in mind as a possibility.
Point 3: Rent
Some people may be wondering, ``Does the rent change the ease of living for people in their 40s?''
However, the age range of tenants varies greatly depending on the rent.
For example, properties with lower rents tend to be occupied by younger people, such as college students and people in their 20s.
We must take into consideration the possibility that problems and disagreements due to generation gaps may occur.
You don't want to move in with anxiety as you move into a long-term relationship.
On the other hand, share houses with higher rents tend to have more residents in their late 20s and above.
Therefore, many people have common hobbies and ideas, and communication is easy.
Additionally, facilities may vary depending on the rent, ranging from minimal facilities to properties with extensive facilities.
Be sure to understand the differences in age groups and facilities depending on the rent, and choose a shared house so you don't regret it.
Point ④ Management company
The management company's role is to deal with problems, hold events, and clean shared spaces.
There are many companies that operate shared houses, but you will have a long-term relationship with them until you move out, so choose carefully.
Please check the following points when choosing a management company.
Points to consider when choosing a management company
- Are the shared spaces clean?
- Will they respond quickly and courteously when making inquiries?
- What is the atmosphere like for the residents?
- How are you evaluated by those around you?
All of the above points are essential for living comfortably in a share house.
When choosing a management company, it is important to focus on these four points.

Point 5: Equipment
There are a wide variety of share houses, ranging from the bare minimum of living facilities to properties that are fully equipped.
Although having minimal facilities does not mean that your life will be inconvenient, we recommend a property with sufficient facilities for people in their 40s.
This is because even those who are busy with work can enjoy it at home without having to go out of their way.
Now, let's take a look at what kind of facilities a share house has.
Examples of equipment (including examples from other companies)
- fitness room
- theater room
- bar lounge
- club lounge
- Library
- Atelier
With all these facilities, it's no wonder you don't have to go out.
The rent will be higher, but the benefits are worth it, so if you find a facility you're interested in, be sure to check it out.
There are no concept properties at XROSS HOUSE, and some have fitness rooms, but all of them are equipped with the basic facilities necessary for daily life.
Four characteristics of people suitable for share houses
There are pros and cons to living in a shared house.
Now, let's take a look at what characteristics the person has.
If you are looking for a share house, please contact us on LINE.
Characteristics ① Can understand the values of residents
There are a wide variety of residents.
As a result, you may feel a gap in your values.
However, it is not a good idea to distance yourself from someone without trying to understand them because your values do not match.
This is because the other person may feel anxious or dissatisfied with the idea that you were suddenly avoided.
If this situation continues, not only will there be a risk of trouble, but it will also cause inconvenience to other residents.
On the other hand, people who can make an effort to understand others are suitable for a shared house.
Even if you can't understand the other person, your willingness to make an effort will be felt by the other person.
Characteristic ② Being considerate
Unlike living alone in a share house, you live together with other tenants under the same roof, so you must be considerate of the other person.
If you only think about yourself, you will cause trouble for other residents.
Be careful, especially in shared spaces, as many sharehouses have rules in place.
Feature 3: Don't worry about small details
There are bound to be some unpleasant things that happen when you live with a tenant.
Of course, you don't have to put up with things you can't forgive, but you may feel a little uncomfortable.
For example, if you get angry over small things like leaving the lights on in your room, you'll be stressed out and you won't be able to get over it.
If you don't care about details too much, a shared house may be suitable for you.
Feature ④ Want to expand interaction
In a share house, there are opportunities to interact such as events, so it is also recommended for people who are not good at talking to others.
Also, since a wide variety of people come together, you can enjoy the differences in values and ideas.
In fact, some people decide to move in with the aim of making their rigid values more flexible.
On the other hand, a share house is not recommended for people who do not want to interact with other residents.
Even people in their 40s can enjoy a share house if they keep the points in mind.
What did you think.
Many share houses have age restrictions, but there are properties that even people in their 40s can move into, such as concept-type share houses.
Keep in mind the points we have introduced so far, choose a share house carefully, and live a comfortable life in a share house.
At XROSS HOUSE, we offer some share houses where even people in their 40s can stay comfortably.
Also, if you are living in a studio with furniture and appliances (living alone), anyone between the ages of 18 and 49 can move in, so if you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
