Coliving & Remote Work Glossary
What is Co-Housing?
Co-housing is a collaborative living model where residents have private homes but share common spaces and responsibilities — like kitchens, gardens, or community events. It’s usually designed and run by the people who live there, with a strong emphasis on collective decision-making and shared values.
It’s a bit like a village, but modern.
Why Does Co-Housing Matter for Digital Nomads or Remote Workers?
While co-housing isn’t always nomad-focused, the mindset behind it — intentional community, shared resources, and collective living — resonates with many remote workers seeking more meaningful ways to live.
For nomads looking to settle down or stay long-term, co-housing can offer stability and community, without the isolation of traditional rentals.
How Does Nomadico Relate to Co-Housing?
While Nomadico homes aren’t true co-housing communities (we don’t co-own or co-develop the homes), we’re inspired by the same values: connection, shared living, and intentional design.
We also collaborate with local partners who already live on-site or nearby, adding a layer of rootedness that makes each coliving feel more like a shared home than a rental.
Common Misconceptions About Co-Housing
“It’s like a commune.”
Not quite — co-housing respects privacy and individual living spaces, with shared spaces added for community.
“Everyone has to make decisions together.”
While consensus is often part of the model, there are many variations — and some are more flexible than others.
“It’s not for travelers.”
It can be — especially for those looking to slow down and integrate more deeply into one place or community.
