shared living
Cohabitation with others
Shared living is a residential arrangement where unrelated people occupy the same dwelling, typically sharing common spaces like kitchens and living rooms while maintaining private bedrooms.
The term covers everything from college roommates to intentional communities to cost-saving arrangements among adults: Shared living helped her afford rent in the city.
It emphasizes communal aspects more than roommate or housemate, often implying some degree of chosen cooperation rather than mere cohabitation.
