As part of joining our private residential community, our members receive weekly updates about the community, upcoming events, developments in the student residence and any other relevant news. We've decided to post these updates on our website in order to let our visitors looking for student housing get an inside view of the Chelsea House student life!

Congratulations, Zoe! 🤑 She’s from Australia 🇦🇺 but spread the good word during Frosh !!
- MI CASA SU CASA - The newsletter isn’t just good news !! It’s also here as we want to be fully transparent with you all about the good and the bad.
Unfortunately we had an incident this week where members had guests over and in a heated pool game broke one of our brand new pool cues…😖
Look, mistakes happen. But we’d really appreciate being upfront about it and letting us know. It takes time tracking down in the security camera system what happened & then confronting those responsible.
Moral of the story - own up to it. Breakage happens (parents were warned lol) and you’ll be charged the replacement cost. When it’s negligent & we have to hunt down what happened and who is responsible there’s a fine added on. We’d rather invest our time for the fun stuff like our next activity. let’s keep the House pristine CFam 🙏
As you know, we count on all of you to take care of our beautiful mansion Home. We’re really really doing our best to make this the best student experience BUT this crazy dream of a premium environment left in the hands of raging students is a risky bet to say the least lol 😂
So - please please help us keep the Dream alive by watching over your Home with us.
And so we want to remind everyone that it's not just ours but each of the member's responsibility as well to make sure that our home stays in tip-top condition. Moreover, by living in a co-living community, we really encourage everyone to respect the space we’re all sharing.
- CHESS NOT CHECKERS - There couldn’t be anyone more impressed than us when Housekeeping was raving that an apartment had gifted them a few slices of home cooked cake to thank them for their work. Honestly it’s genius and so appreciated. Yanira, Oscar and the whole crew are really the Kings & Queens of Chelsea 🙏
That's it for now!!
Stay Classy,
The Chelsea House Community Team
