Shared living environment attracts a diverse population – young professionals and retirees, single people and families, entrepreneurs, and artists. Some communities are multi-generational, while others cater to a specific population, such as seniors, singles, or families.
Co-living is Trendy Worldwide
Co-living communities exist in both rural and urban environments and can include small, single-family homes with shared community spaces or condo-style Buildings with smaller private spaces connected to communal space. Some cohousing communities incorporate an integrated model with both residential and commercial space within the community. Currently, it’s part of an international trend.
For all their differences, co-housing communities share a few common characteristics. Each offers a balance of private and common space designed specifically to encourage community interaction. Residents in the community make decisions together in a collaborative process. Typically homes are designed to be environmentally friendly and residents share certain community resources, such as tools or office equipment.
Conclusion
Co-housing projects can make eco-building cheaper, as materials can be bought in bulk, and the cost of land can be shared. The ultimate goal is to help communities thrive so that there’s always a backup – not only a stable living environment but a group of people who support personal growth, goals, business, or career and in life.
