share house

Communal living arrangement

A share house is a residence occupied by multiple unrelated tenants who split rent and utilities.

Common in cities with high housing costs, share houses typically have private bedrooms but communal kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas: I found a room in a share house near campus.

The term is especially prevalent in Australian and British English.
