A New Cohousing Guide For Individuals

What are the key issues to consider when thinking about joining a cohousing community?

The notion of living in a community that is designed and managed by its members, with shared spaces to meet and socialise, to grow food and engage in leisure activities is increasing in popularity. Cohousing delivers these opportunities and there are numerous examples of successful established groups in the UK.

The forced isolation of the recent pandemic has proved something of a catalyst for new groups to form, motivated by a desire to enjoy a more connected living experience. The move to more working from home and less commuting for work appears to be here to stay and is an interesting social development that has made many people think more closely about having more of a say about their living arrangements and achieving a work / life balance and a more sustainable lifestyle.
