Chester is designed with one clear ambition: to create homes where co-location feels effortless. Places where living together feels easy, comfortable and worry-free,  surrounded by great neighbours and a warm atmosphere. Behind Chester are Piet and Robin, who care about the little details that make daily living smooth and hassle free. Supported by a strong and experienced investment group, they combine personal attention with a solid foundation to create high-quality homes and a reliable living experience. Simply put: Chester. Co-living. Beyond.

Our homes are best suited for professionals or those planning a longer stay in the city. As most residents have a professional routine, our homes are mainly designed for working professionals (with a soft spot for PhD candidates). Our rooms are designed for one person to enjoy their own space.

We respect our residents’ daily routines and avoid disturbing them, whether they’re cooking dinner, relaxing after work or simply enjoying their home. For that reason, in-person visits are not standard. Instead, you can explore the house through virtual tours and authentic photos, giving you a good overview of the house and the available rooms. Of course, we’re always happy to answer any questions.
