Living together is a modern form of community living where residents get a private room in a house furnished with shared common areas. Living together is popular in major cities as an affordable way of life for students, workers, digital nomads, or people moving. Unlike the traditional apartment lifestyle, living together is attractive to renters because of affordability, flexibility, included amenities, and sense of community. Cohabitation is a model of residential community life that houses three or more people without biological kinship who live in the same housing unit.
In general, cohabitation is a type of intentional community that provides shared housing to people with similar values or intentions. The experience of living together may simply include group discussions in common areas or weekly meals, although it often extends to shared work space and collective efforts, such as living more sustainably. An increasing number of people around the world are choosing to live together to obtain the same benefits as other models of living together (such as communes or shared housing), such as comfort, affordability and a greater sense of social belonging.
