coliving
Communal residential arrangement
Coliving is a housing arrangement where residents have private bedrooms but share common spaces like kitchens, living rooms, and workspaces.
It blends elements of roommate living with intentional community, often marketed to young professionals and remote workers seeking affordability and built-in social connection: The coliving space includes weekly dinners and networking events.
The term emerged in the 2010s alongside coworking.
