New Ways to Use Vacant Houses and Empty Spaces
In recent years, there are more ways to use vacant houses than just rental or Airbnb.
Because of remote work, changes in work styles, and local revitalization,
vacant houses are now used not only for living, but also for working, creating, and sharing.
Airbnb is still a useful option, but it has some problems such as local rules, management work, and unstable income.
For this reason, other ways to use vacant houses besides Airbnb are becoming more popular.
In this article, we introduce four practical and future-oriented ideas for using vacant houses.
1. Satellite Offices
Using Vacant Houses as Workspaces
With the spread of remote work, more companies are using vacant houses as satellite offices.
Local governments often provide support or subsidies,
so companies can set up offices at a lower cost.
Satellite offices also help employees who find it difficult to work at home.
For companies, they can lead to new business opportunities and local hiring.
This makes satellite offices a stable way to use vacant houses.
2. Hydroponic Farming and Indoor Agriculture
Using Vacant Houses for Food Production
Another way to use vacant houses is indoor farming.
Hydroponic farming does not depend much on weather or location.
This allows stable production throughout the year.
Sprouts, herbs, and leafy vegetables grow well indoors,
so they are a good match for small farming businesses using vacant houses.
This type of use is suitable for long-term operation.
3. Shared Kitchens
New Uses for Vacant Houses in Shopping Areas
More vacant houses and empty shops are being turned into shared kitchens, especially in shopping streets.
Shared kitchens are used for:
- Testing food ideas
- Side businesses
- Preparing for opening a restaurant
They can be rented by the hour, day, or month,
which helps users start with low cost.
Shared kitchens support young chefs and new businesses,
and also help bring life back to local communities.
4. Photo and Video Studios
A Simple Way to Use Vacant Houses
Using vacant houses as photo or video studios is also increasing.
These spaces are used for:
- Video shooting
- Photo sessions
- Social media content
Old houses and lived-in interiors are popular because they look natural and unique.
Large renovations are often not needed,
and owners can earn money through hourly rental fees.
Another advantage is that location is not very important.
Conclusion
Airbnb Is Not the Only Choice
There are many ways to use vacant houses besides rental and Airbnb:
- Working: Satellite offices
- Producing: Indoor farming
- Trying new ideas: Shared kitchens
- Creating content: Photo and video studios
By choosing the right use for each property,
owners can earn income and use vacant houses for a long time.
