1:57Now PlayingTake a look at this co-living arrangement in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Lightning Society Lofts in Bushwick, Brooklyn is a "collaborative living project" that sees 17 adults under one roof. After years of living alone and a six-month-long apartment hunt in New York City, 27-year-old Jade X found what she called the "holy grail" of living situations – roommates.
For two years, the hotel manager had been renting a $1,200-a-month one-bedroom apartment in a residential section of the Bronx, where she says she didn't have any friends, felt little sense of community and "there was literally nothing to do."
"I didn't feel safe, and it really didn't fit my vibe," the free-spirited fashion design enthusiast said. "I liked the price of the apartment, but then again, you get what you pay for."
After a friend recommended that she look into one of the metro area's many communal living companies, Jade, who legally changed her last name to X, did some digging and quickly applied. Two weeks later, she moved into her new shared apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn, that is operated by Venn, a network of shared homes and spaces in the neighborhood.
