houseshare
Joint living arrangement
A houseshare is a living arrangement where multiple people, typically unrelated, rent rooms in the same house and share common spaces like kitchens and bathrooms.
Common among students and young professionals in expensive housing markets: I found a houseshare near the university.
The term also describes the property itself: There's a houseshare available on Oak Street.
