Cohousing and Co-Living Communities are the Ultimate Solution for a Number of Social Problems
For some people, living alone is the dream. You have your own space, full control over when to do the dishes and when to avoid them, and you don’t have to abide by anyone else’s morning routine or late-night work schedule. For others, living alone is too expensive or just downright lonely. Enter cohousing and co-living communities, which studies have found can positively impact our mental health and quality of life. These concepts are currently gaining steam amid growing loneliness among millennials and older adults, and a greater demand for flexible, affordable living options.
In these spaces around the United States and abroad, you can live in homes built around community and be part of something much bigger than yourself, often with more amenities for less money than it costs to live by yourself.
