shared apartment
Roommates' common home
A shared apartment is a living arrangement where multiple people, typically unrelated, rent and occupy the same dwelling while splitting costs.
Each resident usually has a private bedroom but shares common spaces like the kitchen and bathroom.
The term emphasizes the arrangement rather than the physical space: I found a shared apartment with two grad students.
Also called a flatshare in British English.
