Shared housing designed to support a purpose-driven life. A modern, urban lifestyle that values openness, sharing, and collaboration.

A movement in shared living where people adapt a more flexible leasing structure and practice increased engagement with the household in order to form more meaningful connections with housemates and the general community—regardless of the duration of stay. Co-living can take many forms from shared apartment buildings to shared houses or individual apartments, and it’s particularly gaining traction in areas with a high cost of living, like SF and NYC. Because the rentals can be short- or long-term, it’s increasingly common among younger demographics seeking more meaningful, interconnected lifestyles or travelers who want to immerse themselves in a new city or culture.

noun
A squalid and overcrowded urban apartment inhabited by young, very poor but somehow hip people.
