Coliving & Remote Work Glossary
What is Shared Housing?
Shared housing is exactly what it sounds like — people living together under one roof, typically with private bedrooms and shared common spaces like kitchens or bathrooms. It's a practical and cost-effective way to live, often used by students, travelers, or people in expensive cities.
But not all shared housing is created equal — some are simply about splitting costs, while others (like coliving) focus more on community and connection.
Why Does Shared Housing Matter for Digital Nomads or Remote Workers?
For nomads and remote workers, shared housing is often the first step toward affordable and flexible living in a new city. It offers an easy way to meet people, lower costs, and skip the hassle of setting up a new place alone.
How Does Nomadico Relate to Shared Housing?
Nomadico homes are technically a form of shared housing, but with a twist: our focus is on meaningful connection, not just cost-sharing. We design our spaces to feel like a real home — with shared meals, casual hangouts, and people you actually want to spend time with.
So yes, you’ll share a kitchen or a rooftop — but you'll also share ideas, adventures, and maybe even a surfboard or two.
Common Misconceptions About Shared Housing
“It’s only for students or people in their early 20s.”
Not true — shared housing works for anyone looking for flexibility, especially in global cities and remote work hubs.
“You don’t get any privacy.”
Most shared homes today offer private rooms, and you can choose how much you want to socialize.
“It’s chaotic or unorganized.”
With the right setup and good housemates (hint: we help with that), shared housing can feel peaceful, cozy, and supportive.
