collective living

Group home arrangement

Collective living is a housing arrangement where people share space and resources beyond what's typical of neighbors.

Residents might share kitchens, common areas, childcare duties, or household expenses while maintaining some private space.

The term covers everything from intentional communities and communes to co-housing developments: They've been experimenting with collective living since their twenties.
