As shared living grows in popularity, Common, a co-living company that provides community-minded shared living options, has added two new coliving homes to its portfolio. Common Lincoln, the company’s seventh Brooklyn offering, and Common Cornelia, the first Common co-living home in Queens, are the newest of Common’s 14 homes that span New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C., and Chicago.

Common Lincoln is located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn. The space provides 17 coliving bedrooms in two adjoining buildings with shared community space. As a special perk for this location, residents receive discounts to the restaurant located on the ground floor. Pricing starts at $1,400 per month for a 12-month lease.

Common Cornelia is located in Ridgewood, Queens in a three-story brownstone with 18 coliving bedrooms. Each suite features three bedrooms and a shared bathroom, kitchen, and living room. Community spaces, a backyard, and a rooftop are also included. Pricing starts at $1,700 per month for a 12-month lease.

With the two new coliving homes, Common now has 333 bedrooms across its four cities of operation.
