COHOUSING: A POPULAR CHOICE
Newcomers to Brussels will have a lot of housing options to choose from. Cohousing is no longer a student living arrangement and has become a sophisticated option for professionals moving to the city. Some of our residents can be stagiaires who are moving to Brussels to work at the European Institutions. Increasingly we have professionals who split their time between Brussels and their home country. Morton Place is an easy way to make friends when you aren’t always in Brussels on weekends, or have a heavy travel schedule. Our alumni have worked at a variety of companies and institutions including Bain& Co, BCG, Alten and Netflix to name a few. We ensure there is a variety of profiles in each house, keeping an eye on gender parity, languages spoken and a healthy age range.

Every resident at Morton Place has their own private living space but also shares a large common area that includes facilities such as a generous kitchen, a big communal table and several private areas. There are many open areas in each Morton Place coliving space that are perfect for socialising, playing and working. In addition, guests are always welcome to visit and can even stay at the house guest room free of charge.
We understand that in order for our cohousing spaces to be comfortable and successful for everyone, we need to balance privacy and community to offer the best living experience.
