shared house
Roommates under one roof
A shared house is a residence occupied by multiple people who aren't a family unit, typically renting rooms individually while sharing common spaces like kitchens and bathrooms.
The arrangement is common among students and young professionals in expensive housing markets: I lived in a shared house with four others during university.
British usage; Americans more often say roommate situation or group house.
