Some women who are considering moving into a share house may be worried about living in the same room as a man.
For such people, we recommend a share house where only women can move in.
In this article, we will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of both women-only and co-ed share houses.
Please compare the two features and use it as a reference when choosing the share house that suits you.

Four advantages of a women-only share house
There are four main advantages to living in a women-only share house.
We will introduce each of the four benefits below, so please check them out to see if they suit your needs.
Advantage ① Complete security system
Since all the residents in women-only share houses are women, great consideration is given to crime prevention.
The security equipment provided differs depending on the property, but compared to co-ed share houses, they are equipped with automatic locks and intercoms with monitors.
In particular, properties with automatic locks can be expected to have a high security effect, but rental properties tend to have high rents, so being able to live cheaply in a shared house can be an advantage.
In addition, some share houses have a home security service where staff will come to the house if something unusual is detected.
Therefore, you can rest assured even in the unlikely event that a suspicious person intrudes.
Advantage ② Feel safe in a women-only space
Some people may think that they don't want men to see them wearing light clothes or without makeup.
One advantage of women-only share houses is that the residents are only women, so you don't have to worry about such small details.
Also, if the residents are women, troubles such as sexual harassment are less likely to occur between the residents, so from that perspective, it can be said that it is safer than a co-ed shared house.
Therefore, if you want to avoid the worries and troubles that come with living with a man, we recommend a women-only share house.
Advantage 3: Stylish interior
Another advantage of women-only share houses is that many properties are designed with particular attention to interior design to meet the needs of women.
For example, there are various types of share houses, such as cafe-like interiors with bright colors and luxurious hotel-like interiors.
It takes time and money to gather furniture from scratch to create a stylish space, but if you live in a women-only share house, you'll have all the furniture from the beginning.
Advantage 4: Equipment and home appliances are aimed at women
In women-only share houses, facilities and home appliances are prepared to suit women's lifestyles.
For example, closets and shoe boxes are sometimes designed to be larger than usual to meet the demands of women who want to enjoy fashion.
Another major feature is that each private room is equipped with a vanity so that the bathroom is not crowded when getting ready in the morning, which is unique to women-only accommodations.
In addition, the hair dryer provided may be of high quality, or you may be able to use facial massagers and humidifiers as much as you like.
Therefore, if you are interested in fashion and beauty, you will be able to live a comfortable life by living in a women-only share house.

Two disadvantages of women-only share houses
By now, I think you have understood that women-only share houses have many advantages, but on the other hand, there are also disadvantages because they are women-only.
Below, we will introduce two disadvantages of women-only share houses.
Disadvantage 1: No entry for men
Many women-only share houses prohibit men from entering for security reasons.
Therefore, living in a women-only shared house has the disadvantage that you cannot invite male friends or lovers to your room.
Also, some sharehouses prohibit third parties from entering, even if they are co-ed properties, so if you are planning to have a friend share your room with you, it is a good idea to check the rules in advance. .
Disadvantage ② Few properties
Women-only share houses tend to have fewer properties compared to co-ed share houses because the genders that can live in them are limited.
When we looked into the percentage of share houses in popular areas such as Shibuya, Setagaya, and Nakano that were exclusively for women, it was around 1.5 to 30% of the total.
The disadvantage is that your options are limited due to the small number of properties.
However, the number of women-only share houses is higher than women-only apartments, so if you are particular about not allowing men to enter, we recommend considering a share house.
If you are looking for a property, please contact us on LINE.
Two advantages of co-ed share house
There may be some women who think a co-ed shared house would be a better fit for them.
From here, we will introduce two advantages of co-ed share houses, so please compare them to see which one suits your tastes better.
Advantage 1: Bring a man to your room
In a co-ed shared house, there are no security restrictions, so it is possible to have a man in the room.
Therefore, if you would like to share a room with a male friend or lover, you may want to choose a co-ed shared house.
However, some share houses may prohibit anyone other than residents from entering the house, so we recommend checking the rules in advance even if the house is co-ed.
Advantage ② Large number of properties
There are more co-ed share houses compared to women-only share houses.
Therefore, the advantage is that you have a wide range of options and are more likely to find a property with favorable conditions.
You can ensure your privacy by choosing a share house with a private room, so if you don't want to stay exclusively for women, why not consider a co-ed share house?
If you are looking for a property, please contact us on LINE.
Two disadvantages of co-ed share houses
There are also disadvantages to co-ed share houses, which have fewer restrictions than women-only share houses.
From here, I will introduce two disadvantages for women in co-ed share houses.
Disadvantage 1: Be careful about what you wear in common areas
The living and dining areas of a share house are common areas that can be used by all residents.
Therefore, if you don't want men to see you in nightgowns or light clothes, you will have to change your clothes to go to the living room or dining room.
This may be a disadvantage for those who want to relax in their own clothes at home.
Disadvantage 2: Difficult to dry laundry
Shared houses may also have a shared balcony and drying room.
Therefore, we do not recommend co-ed share houses for those who are concerned about drying their laundry in an area that is also used by men.
However, it is possible to solve this problem by choosing a share house that is equipped with a washing machine with a dryer, or by hanging your laundry at different times than other residents.

Understand the advantages and disadvantages of women-only and co-ed share houses and choose the property that suits you.
What did you think.
The advantages of women-only share houses include being able to live in a property with good security facilities at a low price and not having to worry about men.
There are also properties with stylish interiors and facilities that meet the needs of women.
On the other hand, the disadvantages are that you cannot invite men to your room and that there are only a few properties.
After considering the advantages and disadvantages mentioned above, decide whether a women-only share house is right for you.
