Some may find that living in a cohousing community for the elderly is more restrictive than they would prefer. After all, living in a close-knit environment means that every neighbor must be considered and agree with each other as much as possible. And, if you're the type of person who doesn't follow the rules, then that just might not be your thing. Coliving provides numerous social benefits, such as connecting with people from different backgrounds and cultures, developing new friendships and collaborating on shared interests or projects.
Coliving offers flexibility in terms of room options and lease agreements. Unlike living with roommates, where financial responsibilities are shared in a single lease, cohousing companies offer individual leases. While living spaces may offer more affordability, flexibility, and convenience, they may not provide the same level of privacy and control over living space as traditional housing options. It's crucial to evaluate your priorities and preferences when drinking this decision.
