Cohousing Spreading Across the United Kingdom

A childless family has invested in a £1 million house located on Devon's rugged and remote Hartland Peninsula to avoid being isolated in the future, and has begun searching for a like-minded community to join them.

They now live alongside 17 individuals whose ages range from 4 to 70.

According to the UK Cohousing Network, cohousing is steadily gaining popularity in the United Kingdom, as issues such as loneliness, the housing crisis, and expensive care in the post-pandemic world drive the need for new solutions.

Owen Jarvis, CEO of the UK Cohousing Network, states that there are currently more than 120 cohousing projects either completed or under development, with approximately 2,000 individuals on the national waiting list seeking to join one.
