Home Is Where the Community Is


What do you think about sharing your home with lots of other people?

Today, people share many things. They share music and photos online.
They share rides. Some people even share homes.
Co-living spaces are homes where groups of strangers live together.
Each home has private areas and common areas. Most co-living
spaces are for 20- and 30-year-olds.
WeLive is a co-living space in New York City. It used to be an office
building, but now it's an apartment building. Residents have their own
bedrooms, bathrooms, and small kitchens. They share a yoga room, movie room, large
kitchen, and more.
Common is also in New York City. Residents of Common live in a townhouse. They have
their own bedrooms, but two people share a bathroom. Everyone shares a living room and
kitchen.
Some co-living spaces have many amenities. The Collective Old Oak in London has a
library, spa, tea room, and "disco launderette." That's a laundry room with a dance floor!
But the best part about co-living spaces is making connections with other people. "We're all
about community," says Brad Hargreaves, Common's founder. "We're all about getting to
know your neighbors."
