What is cohousing or co-living?

Housing, synonymous with a home, holds significant value in people's lives. However, the traditional concept of housing is expanding with new terms.

With new lifestyles, new solutions are emerging, as you can observe around you. Cohousing is a housing model that originated in Northern European countries and has begun to spread to other countries since the 1980s. In Spain, there are already several examples, some of which have been around for quite some time, while others are in development stages.

The concept of co-living refers to a type of cohesive community bound together by a shared understanding of communal living, comprising private homes and generous shared facilities. This collaborative housing model aims to overcome the alienation caused by the compartmentalisation of contemporary housing, where neighbours are unknown to each other, and a sense of community is absent.

Moreover, in many cases, older people enjoy an active life for many years after retiring from work. This type of community provides a space that promotes the well-being of those in this stage of life and presents a new alternative to living at home or in a residential facility.

Loneliness can be a pleasant experience when chosen voluntarily. However, many older people living alone in their homes wish to find companionship. This co-living model makes it possible to connect closely with other neighbours.
