Rent near a major university or a walkable neighborhood can add up quickly, especially if you want your own space. Co-living offers a middle ground: the privacy of your own bedroom and bathroom, plus shared living spaces at a lower cost than renting an entire apartment alone.
Here’s how co-living works at LOCAL on Delmar, and how to decide if it’s right for you.
What Is Co-Living?
With co-living, you lease your own private bedroom and personal bathroom and share common areas such as the kitchen and living room with other residents. You get personal space where it matters most, along with access to the community’s amenities, without paying for a full apartment on your own.
How It’s Different from Having Roommates
In a traditional roommate setup, friends usually sign one lease together and split the rent, so everyone is responsible if someone moves out or falls behind. Co-living is built around your own lease for your own space. It’s a good fit if you’re new to the area, your friends are living elsewhere, or you simply want a simpler arrangement.
Who Co-Living Is Great For
- Graduate and professional students who want privacy at a manageable price
- Young professionals relocating to St. Louis who don’t know anyone yet
- Residents who want a private bathroom without paying for a full one-bedroom
- Anyone who enjoys a social environment but values their own space

Beyond your apartment, LOCAL on Delmar’s community spaces, including the clubroom, work-from-home hub, wellness suite, gym, yoga studio and pool terrace, give you even more room to work, relax and meet neighbors.
