Tiny Bunk Bed Pods Offered for $800 a Month Amid Bay Area Housing Crisis
Co-Living Startup Offers a New Sleep Solution
Amid the Bay Area's ongoing housing crisis, a co-living startup is offering a new type of sleeping arrangement: tiny bunk bed pods. Brownstone Shared Housing is renting out these pods for $800 a month at a midcentury home near California.
Seeking Community and Affordability
The pods are designed to appeal to those seeking an affordable living arrangement while also fostering a sense of community. Each pod is about the size of a twin bed and includes a privacy curtain, a small desk, and a storage locker. Residents share common areas such as a kitchen, living room, and bathrooms.
Brownstone Shared Housing founder Max Brownstone says the company's goal is to provide a "comfortable, affordable, and fun" living experience for its residents. He believes that the pods offer a unique solution to the challenges of living in an expensive housing market.
The company's Palo Alto location has been met with mixed reactions. Some residents have expressed concerns about the pods' small size and lack of privacy, while others see them as a creative solution to the housing crisis.
