What Is Co-Living?

Co-living is a modern housing model where people intentionally share a living space while maintaining private bedrooms or tiny dwellings. It’s popular among:

• Digital nomads

• Students & young professionals

• Retirees seeking community

• Eco-conscious or minimalist lifestyles

Key Benefits:

• Lower monthly costs

• Built-in social network

• Shared chores, tools, and resources

• Flexibility with short or long-term arrangements

How Much Does It Cost?

Co-living can reduce living expenses by 30–60% compared to solo living. That said, costs vary based on location, setup, and whether utilities or meals are included.
